“…Exercise and drug loading examinations were not performed. Marked hemodynamic change occurs during exercise; therefore, the right atrial pressure waveform may change because the assessment of RV distensibility judged by the right atrial pressure waveform is influenced by RV systolic function, relaxation ability, and RV preload and afterload ( 3 ). As LV pressure was not examined in this study, the impact of LV diastolic dysfunction on RV diastolic function, i.e., inter-ventricular interaction, is unclear.…”

“…Right ventricular (RV) function affects the severity of heart failure independently of left ventricular (LV) systolic function ( 1 ). The right ventricle is characterized by higher compliance than the left ventricle, and the diastolic function of the right ventricle is superior to that of the left ventricle ( 2 , 3 ). Therefore, RV diastolic function plays an important role in hemodynamics, and the function should be examined to consider the therapeutic strategies for patients with heart failure.…”

“…One is the right-sided shift of the RV diastolic pressure-volume curve and volume overload, and the representative disease is tricuspid regurgitation. The other is an upward shift of the RV diastolic pressure-volume curve and restriction filling, and representative diseases are restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis ( 3 , 6 , 7 ). These changes reduce the reserve function of RV distensibility or less-distensible right ventricle.…”
Background: Influence of right ventricular diastolic function on the hemodynamics of heart failure (HF). We aimed to clarify the hemodynamic features of deep Y descent in the right atrial pressure waveform in patients with HF and preserved left ventricular systolic function.Methods: In total, 114 consecutive inpatients with HF who had preserved left ventricular systolic function (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%) and right heart catheterization were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to right atrial pressure waveform, and those with Y descent deeper than X descent in the right atrial pressure waveform were assigned to the deep Y descent group. We enrolled another seven patients (two men, five women; mean age, 87 ± 6) with HF and preserved ejection fraction, and implanted a pacemaker to validate the results of this study.Results: The patients with deep Y descent had a higher rate of atrial fibrillation, higher right atrial pressure and mean pulmonary arterial pressure, and lower stroke volume and cardiac index than those with normal Y descent (76 vs. 7% p < 0.001, median 8 vs. 5 mmHg p = 0.001, median 24 vs. 21 mmHg p = 0.036, median 33 vs. 43 ml/m2p < 0.001, median 2.2 vs. 2.7 L/m2, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression revealed a negative correlation between stroke volume index and pulmonary vascular resistance index (wood unit*m2) only in the patients with deep Y descent (estimated regression coefficient: −1.281, p = 0.022). A positive correlation was also observed between cardiac index and heart rate in this group (r = 0.321, p = 0.038). In the other seven patients, increasing the heart rate (from median 60 to 80/min, p = 0.001) significantly reduced the level of BNP (from median 419 to 335 pg/ml, p = 0.005).Conclusions: The hemodynamics of patients with HF with deep Y descent and preserved left ventricular systolic function resembled right ventricular restrictive physiology. Optimizing the heart rate may improve hemodynamics in these patients.

Desde sus inicios en el siglo pasado, el cateterismo de arteria pulmonar (CAP) ha ido evolucionando hasta ser una técnica de evaluación hemodinámica invasiva que puede realizarse en la cama del paciente a través de un catéter Swan-Ganz; este procedimiento ha mantenido un curso intermitente en cuanto a su uso; no obstante, actualmente ha demostrado relevancia en escenarios específicos. El CAP permite el acceso a la circulación venosa central, el corazón derecho y la arteria pulmonar; realiza el cálculo de variables hemodinámicas de manera directa o indirecta mediante fórmulas y métodos establecidos. Esto hace posible realizar una evaluación y clasificación hemodinámica adecuada, realizar pruebas específicas (p. ej. prueba de vasorreactividad), que ayudan a definir el diagnóstico, la conducta terapéutica, monitorizar la respuesta al tratamiento, la evaluación previa a terapias avanzadas (p. ej. el trasplante cardiaco o dispositivos de asistencia circulatoria mecánica), y el pronóstico en los pacientes. En este artículo profundizamos sobre los conceptos y la utilidad del cateter de arteria pulmonar.
Second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) bioimaging technology shows broad application prospects in the field of biomedical due to its significant superiority in deep tissue penetration and high signal‐to‐background ratio. Among them, organic small molecule fluorophores have received progressively more consideration due to their low biotoxicity, high biocompatibility, rapid clearance, and good modification properties. As the key acceptor core, 2, 1, 3‐benzothiadiazole (BTD) derivative plays an essential role in the construction of donor‐acceptor‐donor type NIR‐II fluorophores. This mini‐review summarizes the research development of NIR‐II small molecule fluorophores based on BTD derivatives in the field of bioimaging, focusing on molecular design and photophysical properties, and introduces a part of the applications in the biological field. Furthermore, the challenges of BTD‐based NIR‐II fluorophores in the future development and application are discussed
