47 results about "Afterload" patented technology

Afterload is the pressure the heart must work against to eject blood during systole (ventricular contraction). Afterload is proportional to the average arterial pressure. As aortic/pulmonary pressure increases, the afterload on the left/right ventricle increase respectively. Afterload changes in order to adapt to the continually changing demands on an animal's cardiovascular system. Afterload is proportional to mean systolic blood pressure and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).

An apparatus and method for assessing myocardial wall stress is disclosed. The method may be used in conjunction with electro-stimulatory therapy for preventing or reversing ventricular remodeling. In such therapy, one or more stimulatory pulses are delivered to the heart such that a stressed region of the myocardium is pre-excited relative to other regions, thereby subjecting the stressed region to a lessened preload and afterload during systole. The unloading of the stressed myocardium over time effects reversal of undesirable ventricular remodeling.

Novel device and method to measure ventricular arterial coupling and vascular performance

A device and method for analyzing of a disturbed pattern of pulse wave front results in a non-invasive, real-time diagnostic tool of arterial vascular performance on both a global and regional scale. The device provides a single number quantifying how well the arterial tree as a whole is coupled to receive and distribute a stroke volume of a single heartbeat. Changing heart rate, contractility, volume status, and afterload will change stroke volume and ejection time. Different vasculatures with different properties (e.g., size and intrinsic stiffness) will be best matched for different stroke volumes and ejection times to provide optimal coupling. The device will allow finding the optimal set of parameters for individual patient.

Afterload device for a beating heart during examination thereof

An examination device for a heart. An afterload device connected to the aorta provides a counter-pressure by an annular space delimited between a rigid cylinder and an elastic tube inserted in the rigid cylinder. The annular space comprises a compressible medium, such as air, nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide and is connected to a reservoir providing a predetermined pressure corresponding to a diastolic pressure. The reservoir is connected to the annular space via a restriction and a back-flow valve. During diastole, the annular space is inflated by the reservoir and provides a diastolic counter pressure for providing coronary flow. During systole, the ejected fluid from the heart ventricle displaces the medium inside the annular space through the restriction to the reservoir, thereby removing energy from the fluid. The compressible medium forms a compliance. Also, there is a preload device comprising a vertical collapsible tube for preload of the atrium.
