Measurement of Instantaneous Blood Flow Velocity and Pressure in Conscious Man with a Catheter-Tip Velocity Probe

Abstract: Twenty-three patients were investigated during diagnostic right and left cardiac catheterization with an electromagnetic catheter-tip velocity probe. The catheter contained a pressure lumen for simultaneous measurements of intravascular pressure. Average peak and mean blood velocities were 66 and 11 cm/sec in the ascending aorta, 57 and 10 cm/sec in the pulmonary artery, 28 and 12 cm/sec in the superior vena cava, and 26 and 13 cm/sec in the inferior vena cava. The velocity pattern in the ascending aorta was s… Show more

“…[35], systolic pressure increases downstream, but key features become apparent when ageing is properly modelled. Coherently with in-vivo observations [43][44][45], simulations highlight a local peak at the thoracic aorta for young people (see Fig 3a). This aspect has so far been unexplored and has two causes.…”

“…It is noted that this bears a striking resemblance to the time dependence of the pulmonary artery velocities reported by [32] and so it may not be too simplistic.…”

“…As d M is decreased the gap increases. Table 1 [25,32]. By the time d M has increased to 0.3, the discrepancy is not as pronounced with the power being overestimated by roughly 40 mW by the steady model.…”

“…Volumetric flow scales were established by setting the summated systolic areas under the flow velocity wave forms equal to the Fick-determined cardiac outputs scaled to the period of integration. The validity of using catheter-mounted electromagnetic flow velocity probes in studying ascending aortic flow in man has been previously reported by several other investigators (25,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”
