Global Ventricular Function and Hemodynamics

Le résumé fourni par la source

One of the key roles of perioperative TEE is to assess baseline systolic and diastolic function of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) before surgery. Changes in ventricular function during cardiac and noncardiac procedures can lead to severe hemodynamic instability, which, if unresponsive to treatment, necessitates TEE evaluation. This chapter introduces a circulatory system model integrating the concepts of venous return and the pressure-volume relationship, followed by a discussion of the various causes of hemodynamic instability. The echocardiographic effects of commonly used pharmacologic agents will also be reviewed.
