Analysis of left ventricular systolic function during elevated external cardiac pressures: an examination of measured transmural left ventricular pressure during pressure-volume analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cardiac disease and aberrations in central volume status are risk factors for perioperative complications, and should be identified prior to surgery. This study investigated the benefit of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for pre-operative identification of cardiac disease and hypovolemia in ambulatory s...
