“…Theoretically, an increase in V s could also be caused by the greater motion of the entire heart that occurs after openheart surgery and can be recorded by TDI. 1 However, this systolic motion is anterior and would therefore be expected to reduce the velocity of the anterior wall, which moves posteriorly towards the oesophageal transducer during systole. V s showed no association with EDA, which is an index of LV preload, but correlated inversely with ESWS, which is an index of LV afterload.…”

Intraoperative measurement of TDI in the anterior wall of the left ventricle is feasible and provides additional quantitative information on both regional and global systolic and diastolic function. We found changes in myocardial velocities indicating improvement in the systolic and impairment in the diastolic function of the anterior wall of the left ventricle immediately after mammary artery grafting.

“…Additional views obtained by multiplane imaging such as the twoand four chamber transesophageal views will therefore improve the sensitivity for diagnosis of acute ischemia. However, it has to be realized that the true anatomical apex is often truncated in these views (14) and that repositioning of the transesophageal probe will limit reproducibility of repeated measurements.…”

“…Quantitative analysis (13,14) needs reproducible and objective means to assess the extent and severity of abnormal regional function. One also has to be aware that, on the one hand, the absolute changes in radial shortening and myocardial thickening are very small, ranging from 1-5 mm, and on the other hand, the heart makes translational and/or rotational movements (15) during systole, which should be corrected.…”

Increased access and ability to visualize the heart has provided a means to measure a myriad of cardiovascular parameters in real or near real time. However, without fundamental knowledge regarding the basis for cardiac contraction and how to evaluate cardiac function in terms of loading conditions and inotropic state, appropriate interpretation of these cardiovascular parameters can be difficult and can lead to misleading conclusions regarding the functional state of the cardiac muscle. Thus, in this series of Comprehensive Physiology, the basic properties of cardiac muscle function, the cardiac cycle, and determinants of pump function will be reviewed. These basic concepts will then be integrated by presenting approaches in which the effects of preload, afterload, and myocardial contractility can be examined. Moreover, the utility of the pressure-volume relation in terms of assessing both myocardial contractility as well as critical aspects of diastolic performance will be presented. Finally, a generalized approach for the assessment and interpretation of cardiac function within the intact cardiovascular system will be presented.
