LEFT VENTRICULAR PRESSURE [7 records]

Record 1 2017-03-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cardiovascular System
  • The Heart
CONT

Dilating the post-capillary vessels, including large veins, promotes a peripheral pooling of blood and decreases venous return to the heart. This reduces left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(pre-load).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système cardio-vasculaire
  • Cœur
CONT

La dilatation des vaisseaux post-capillaires y compris les veines de gros calibre, favorise l'accumulation de sang dans la circulation périphérique et réduit le retour veineux au cœur, ce qui a pour effet de réduire la pression télédiastolique ventriculaire gauche (précharge).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Medication
Universal entry(ies)
124750-99-8
CAS number
C22H23ClN6O
formula, see observation
CONT

Losartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Losartan is also used to decrease the risk of stroke in people who have high blood pressure and a heart condition called left ventricular hypertrophy(enlargement of the walls of the left side of the heart).... This medication is also used to treat kidney disease in people who have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Losartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.

OBS

Active ingredient commonly sold under the name Cozaar.

Chemical formula: C22H23ClN6O

Dans les études cliniques contrôlées, le losartan administré en une prise par jour chez des patients présentant une hypertension essentielle légère à modérée a induit des réductions statistiquement significatives de la pression artérielle systolique et diastolique.

Record 3 2011-09-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vessels (Medicine)
DEF

Cardiac failure marked by elevated venous pressure and diminished arterial pressure, most commonly beginning as left ventricular failure that results in decreased output. Backward failure develops when the ventricle cannot empty and the blood backs up in the pulmonary veins and the lungs, causing pulmonary edema.

CONT

A rigid distinction between backward and forward heart failure is artificial, since both mechanisms appear to operate to varying extents in most patients with heart failure.

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • The Heart
CONT

Although square root sign of left ventricular diastolic pressure form has been considered to be specific of constrictive pericarditis, we have frequently observed this sign in patients with atrial septal defect when pressure is recorded with a Mikro-tip manometer catheter.

OBS

Dans les cas où la courbe n'est pas inversée, elle réalise l'aspect typique de "dip-plateau" avec la dépression protodiastolique profonde et acuminée D ou O, suivie d'un plateau méso et télédiastolique qui débute habituellement par un ressaut. L'ensemble de la diatole réalise alors le symbole de la racine carrée. (Source : Annales de Cardiologie et Angéiologie, 1975, vol. 24, n° 5, p. 422).

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Blood
CONT

The... prototype called HEMOS(HEmodynamic MOnitoring System) receives three physiological signals : an ECGlead, aortic pressure(AP) and left auricular pressure(LAP), from the auxiliary output of an existing bedside monitor. These signals are sampled at 250Hz and converted to binary form with 12-bit resolution. The ECG samples are continuously processed to detect and classify ventricular complexes according to their morphology. Samples of the two pressure waveforms are only acquired during the first 15 seconds of each minute, and processed in the course of the remaining 45 seconds. [Source : A technical pamphlet on HEMOS prepared by the Biomedical Engineering Institute of Montreal in 1987. ]
