Zur Röntgenuntersuchung des Herzens in horizontaler und vertikaler Körperstellung. I. Mitteilung: Der Einfluß der Körperstellung auf das Herzvolumen

In 309 postmyocardial infarction patients (age 40 ± 7.7 years) without persistent ischemia there is only a weak correlation between ejection fraction (EF) and exercise tolerance (r = 0.45, p < 0.01), and between EF and maximum cardiac output (CO; r = 0.41, p < 0.01) and maximum pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP; r = -0.32, p < 0.001). The same was true for exercise tolerance and maximum PCWP (r = -0.53, p < 0.001). A big scattering of individual values could be observed. Although we found a high positive correlation between maximum CO and exercise tolerance (r = 0.80, p < 0.001), in individual cases a low CO could be related to high exercise tolerance and vice versa. In the multivariate analysis, only the heart volume/kg body weight and maximum PCWP could be shown to be of independent prognostic importance for survival and/or mortality in the following years (χ² = 5.9, p < 0.015 and χ² = 7.2, p < 0.007, respectively).

“…With the patients kept in the supine position throughout the study, the following measurements were obtained: cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV) by radio cardiography (RCG), using 131I-Bromsulphthalein and RISHA (Isocommcrz GmbH, Berlin, DDR) as indicators [7]; total blood volume (TBV) and red cell volume (RCV) calculated from plasma volume and hematocrit, also using radioactive tracers; cuff blood pressure; heart volume (HV) by X-ray examination in the supine position, according to Musshoff and Reindell [4] and Musshoff [5). The duration of total systole (TS), pre-ejection period (PEP) and left ventricular ejection time (LVET) were determined by simultaneous recording of the ECG and phonocardiogram with a multichannel recorder (VEB Kombinat Messgerätewerk, Zwönit^Sachsen, DDR).…”

Cardiac Function in Chronic Renal Failure Before and After Hemodialysis

et al. 1973

In 14 patients with chronic renal failure and without obvious signs of congestive heart failure, cardiac function was analyzed immediately before and after hemodialysis through radiocardiography, phonocardiography and X-ray examination. Plasma creatinine, urea nitrogen and body weight were reduced by hemodialysis, whereas electrolyte levels remained relatively constant. Cardiac output, stroke volume, arterial pressures, and left ventricular work were generally elevated in these patients before hemodialysis, and were not affected by the procedure. Changes in heart volume, mean ejection rate, Lüthy’s index, and gallop sounds suggested an improvement of heart function after hemodialysis. In the absence of typical heart failure, an excessive water load may deteriorate cardiac performance in these patients by cardiac enlargement concomitant with hypertension. Thus overhydration should be avoided and cardiac function assessed by radiologic measurement of heart size and phonocardiography.
