THE CORRELATION OF MATERNAL HEART VOLUME WITHu THE BIRTH WEIGHT OF THE INFANT AND PREMATURITY

“…This hypothesis is based on the correlation bEtween working ability and total hemoglobin which, in turn, is correlated with the heart volume that can thus be used as a standard of working capacity. The heart volume at rest is a measure of the blood reserve which can be put to use when an increase is needed in the stroke volume (Reindell et al 1961).…”

“…The volume of the vasculature increases in pregnancy on account of the growth of the uterine and placental vasculature and also because of the change in the tone and capacity of other blood vessels. The volume of the circulating blood is in ratio to the heart volume and working ability (Kjellberg et al 1949a, by c, Sjostrand 1953, Robbe 1959, Reindell et al 1961. The quantity of blood which circulates in a pregnant uterus has been estimated to be c. 500-700 ml per minute (Assali et al 1953, Metcaye et al 1955, MacClure Browne 1958.…”

Befunde hämodynamischer Untersuchungen vor und nach Implantation eines elektrischen Schrittmachers*

“…Aus den Untersuchungen von REINDELL [6] und von LÜTHY [5] wissen wir, daß einer be- das Myokard zu einer solchen regulativen Dilatation fähig ist. Wir müssen erwarten, daß unsere Herzen deutlich vergrößert sind und mit der Schlagvolumenabnahme eine charakteristische Verkleinerung erfahren.…”
