Abstract:Background: It has been observed that complex cardiovascular changes including cardiac rhythm and conduction occur during simulated diving in humans. As the study requires technical expertise, not many studies are conducted in this field. Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography is a feasible method to study the cardiovascular changes during breath-hold immersion of the face in water. There is well-documented evidence for changes in left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, and cardiac output. LV… Show more
