Angiographic Determination of Left and Right Ventricular Volumes and Left Ventricular Mass in Normal Infants and Children.

Model-based identification of PEEP titrations during different volemic levels

“…This estimation is further validated by several studies using angiography to measure the ventricle volumes and it has been demonstrated that the normal left-ventricular end-diastolic index (LVEDVI) in man is 70 to 80 mL/m 2 , whereas the mean right-ventricular end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) is 80 to 85 mL/m 2 [15][16][17]. Additionally, it can be estimated that within the heart, blood is distributed with 60% in the ventricle and 40% in the atrium [18].…”

Transpulmonary thermodilution (PiCCO) measurements in children without cardiopulmonary dysfunction: large interindividual variation and conflicting reference values

“… point to the fact that as a child grows, the end‐diastolic blood volume (EDV) of the heart increases with a factor of five at the same time as the BSA increases with a factor of three. The example given is that EDV increases from 25 ml with a BSA of 0.5 m 2 to 125 ml at 1.5 m 2 . This means that indexing GEDV by BSA introduces a significant error for small children.…”

Frequency of Pathological Electrocardiographic Findings and the Role of Electrocardiographic Screening in the First Form Pupil Population in Latvia. Summary of the Doctoral Thesis

“…The data of Davingnon and colleagues (Davignon, Rautaharju, Boisselle et al, 1979) demonstrate an inverse relationship between the body surface area and the heart rate. Akiba et al (Akiba, Nakasato, Sato et al, 1995) found in their study that left ventricular volume and stroke volume increase with age correlates with the body surface area. HR decrease with the increase of left ventricular volume and stroke volume provides a stable left ventricular ejection dependency on the body surface area.…”
