We developed a technique to continuously (i.e., automatically) monitor cardiac output (CO) and left atrial pressure (LAP) by mathematical analysis of the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) waveform. The technique is unique to the few previous related techniques in that it jointly estimates the two hemodynamic variables and analyzes the PAP waveform over time scales greater than a cardiac cycle wherein wave reflections and inertial effects cease to be major factors. First, a 6-min PAP waveform segment is analyzed so as to determine the pure exponential decay and equilibrium pressure that would eventually result if cardiac activity suddenly ceased (i.e., after the confounding wave reflections and inertial effects vanish). Then, the time constant of this exponential decay is computed and assumed to be proportional to the average pulmonary arterial resistance according to a Windkessel model, while the equilibrium pressure is regarded as average LAP. Finally, average proportional CO is determined similar to invoking Ohm's law and readily calibrated with one thermodilution measurement. To evaluate the technique, we performed experiments in five dogs in which the PAP waveform and accurate, but highly invasive, aortic flow probe CO and LAP catheter measurements were simultaneously recorded during common hemodynamic interventions. Our results showed overall calibrated CO and absolute LAP root-mean-squared errors of 15.2% and 1.7 mmHg, respectively. For comparison, the root-mean-squared error of classic end-diastolic PAP estimates of LAP was 4.7 mmHg. On future successful human testing, the technique may potentially be employed for continuous hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients with pulmonary artery catheters.

Closed Mitral Commissurotomy

Background: Mitral stenosis is often present with pulmonary hypertension. Closed Mitral Commissurotomy (CMC) is a treatment of choice for severe mitral stenosis. In this study, we examined the per-operative changes of pulmonary artery pressure following opening of stenosed mitral valve. Methods: All these CMCs were performed routinely through the left antero-lateral thoracotomy (4th intercostal space) and dilatation was done by metallic Tubb’s Dilator. Peroperative left atrial and Pulminary Arterial pressures were measured before and after dilatation. Results: 15 patients had undergone CMC. Following CMC, per-operative mean Pulmonary artery pressure was reduced from 45.5±7.1 mm of Hg to 39.0±8.8 mm of Hg (p=0.043). Mean left atrial pressure reduced from 35.9±5.6 mm of Hg to 30.0±9.1 mm of Hg (p = 0.049). At three months follow up after closed mitral commissurotomy mitral valve area at echocardiography was found 2.29±0.18 cm2. There was no case of death after closed mitral commissurotomy. Mild mitral regurgitation occurred in 1 patient. Conclusion: We conclude that there is immediate significant reduction of pulmonary Artery pressure following closed mitral commissurotomy. This reduction is apparently comparable with a similar reduction of left atrial pressure. Cardiovasc. j. 2019; 11(2): 147-151
