Smiseth, MD, PhD Isovolumic relxtion time (IVRT) nd events of erly trnsmitrl flow mesured by Doppler echocrdiogrphy were vlidted ginst the time constnt of left ventriculr relxtion (i-) in open-chest dogs. During incresed inotropy (by isoproterenol infusion) t constnt prelod, enhncement of relxtion ws indicted by decrese in from 48±12 (men± SD) to 33±5 msec (p=.4) with concomitnt decrese in IVRT from 74±18 to 38±8 msec (p=.3). During decresed inotropy (by proprnolol infusion) t constnt prelod, slowing of relxtion ws indicted by n increse in T from 4±8 to 51±+13 msec (p=.2) with concomitnt increse in IVRT from 71±+15 to 83+±21 msec (p<.5). significnt correltion between chnges in nd chnges in IVRT ws found (r=.66, p<.1). In contrst, when left ventriculr end-distolic pressure ws incresed from 7±2 to 24±4 mmhg t constnt inotropy, r incresed from 47±f14 to 64±25 msec (p=.3), wheres no chnge in IVRT ws observed (76±+19 nd 71±+19 msec, respectively). ortic pressure ws not significntly chnged during ny intervention, nd hert rte ws kept constnt by pcing. Pek erly trnsmitrl velocity ws unchnged by proprnolol but incresed during isoproterenol nd sline infusion (p<.1 nd p<.1, respectively). During volume loding, left tril V wve pressure ws positive predictor (p=.2) nd r ws negtive (p=.6) predictor of the flow-djusted trnsmitrl flow velocity. Thus, IVRT reflected r during chnging contrctility t constnt prelod, but not during incresing prelod. Prolongtion of IVRT s sign of slowing of relxtion during volume loding ws countercted by n erlier opening of the mitrl vlve cused by incresing tril pressure, thus leving IVRT unchnged. (Circultion 199;81: ) bnorml relxtion of the left ventricle (LV) is present in vriety of crdic diseses nd is n erly mnifesttion of LV dysfunction.1-5 The most ccepted index of LV relxtion is the time constnt of LV pressure decy (r).6 However, clcultion of r requires LV pressure recordings. ccordingly, ttempts hve been mde to ssess LV relxtion noninvsively by M-mode7 8 nd Doppler echocrdiogrphy9' nd by rdionuclide technique.11"12 Isovolumic relxtion time (IVRT), comprising the time intervl during which the principl LV pressure fll tkes plce, cn be mesured by combining phonocrdiogrphy nd M-mode echocrdiogrphy, by M-mode technique lone, or from the From the Institute for Surgicl Reserch nd Medicl Deprtment B, Rikshospitlet, University- of Oslo, Oslo, Norwy. ddress for correspondence: Dr. Yngvr Myreng, Medicl Deprtment B, Rikshospitlet, N-27 Oslo 1, Norwy.

This ws done in n experimentl model in dogs, which llowed monitoring of the pressure determinnts of IVRT. Methods niml Preprtion The experiments were performed in 11 dogs weighing 23±2 kg (rnge, kg). nesthesi ws induced with thiopentone nd continued with intrvenous morphine injections (5-1 mg/hr) supplemented with sodium pentobrbitl s needed. The dogs were ventilted with room ir by use of Servo Ventiltor (model 9B, Siemens Elem, Stockholm, Sweden). Blood gses nd body temperture were

The chest ws opened through medin sternotomy, nd the pericrdium ws left open throughout the experiment. Through peripherl vessel incisions high-fidelity ctheter (Millr, Houston, Texs) nd fluid-filled reference ctheter were plced in the left ventricle. fluidfilled ctheter ws dvnced to the scending ort. In eight of the dogs, ctheter ws introduced into the left trium by mens of the left uricle; four of these dogs received fluid-filled ctheter, nd the other four dogs received Millr ctheter, which ws zero-referenced ginst the LV fluid-filled ctheter during long distses. The fluid-filled ctheters were connected to trnsducers (model E 84, SensoNor, Horten, Norwy). Both externl jugulr veins were cnnulted to llow for rpid volume infusion. The pressure trcings nd electrocrdiogrms were printed on pper t speed of 2 mm/sec by recorder (model 26 S, Gould, Clevelnd, Ohio). Sinus node function ws bolished by injection of 2% formldehyde in the frontl spect of the right tril wll to the left of nd below the superior cvl vein. Pcing electrodes were sutured to the right tril ppendge nd to the frontl spect of the interventriculr septum immeditely subjcent to the trioventriculr groove. The hert ws pced in trioventriculr sequence (trioventriculr dely, 13 msec) t rtes below 118 bets/min. Doppler Echocrdiogrphy dedicted Doppler instrument (SD-1, Vingmed Sound, Horten, Norwy) with 3-MHz probe ws used for the Doppler mesurements. During dt cquisition, the dog ws plced in the semilterl left decubitus position. The Doppler probe ws pplied mnully directly on the pex. Continuous wve mode ws used to locte the highest velocities nd, thus, to lign the ultrsound bem prllel to the flow direction, wheres pulsed wve mode ws used for recording the signls. In the mesuring depth (4-6 mm) the smple volume ws pproximtely 7 mm in dimeter nd 7 mm in length. The smple volume ws plced in the depth t which the spikes cused by mitrl vlve opening were most distinctly seen in the Doppler spectrum nd mplitude trcing; this corresponds to the tip of the mitrl vlve.14 Cre ws tken to disply distinct ortic vlve closure nd mitrl vlve opening signls simultneously. Trnsmitrl inflow velocities were visulized in the sme spectrum (Figure 1). Probe position nd ngultion were djusted to chieve optiml signls s judged from the spectrl disply nd the udible Doppler shift. ll Doppler recordings were videotped. Procedure Pressures nd Doppler signls were recorded simultneously during suspension of ventiltion for 15-3 seconds. trioventriculr sequentil pcing ws used to keep hert rte constnt (rnge, bets/min) during ech intervention. *_ m, \ kitj ' ' time (s) 2 VCIl p, MVO time E-wve FIGURE 1.

The timing of vlve movements ws enhnced by Doppler mplitude trcings nd by using minimum of the compression function.15 IVRT ws mesured from the strt of the ortic vlve closure signl to the strt of the mitrl vlve opening signl (Figure 1). The erly trnsmitrl flow (E) velocity ws mesured t the pek. Lte velocities were not optimlly recorded in ll dogs becuse of the different direction of the trilly induced inflow; however, whenever recorded, the erly nd lte velocity peks were clerly seprted, even t the highest hert rtes (118 bets/min). ccelertion time ws mesured from the mitrl opening to the E velocity. Decelertion of erly inflow ws mesured between the E velocity nd point hlfwy down the following slope. t lest four consecutive bets were verged.

During sline infusion, the E velocity nd decelertion rte of erly inflow incresed significntly (Tble 1) nd reflected incresed trnsmitrl flow; ccelertion ws, however, unchnged. To djust for chnges in flow, the E velocity ws normlized ginst the respective trnsmitrl velocity time integrl. Tble 2 demonstrtes the results of multiple regression nlysis of the normlized E velocity s the dependent vrible ginst left tril V wve pressure, -, nd LV systolic pressure s independent vribles; this nlysis ws performed on the vlues for the dogs in which phsic left tril pressure ws recorded during volume loding (n =8). significnt correltion (multiple r=.6, p<.1) ws found.

However, during incresing prelod, chnges in IVRT did not prllel the prolongtion of i. Since IVRT is mesured s the time intervl between ortic vlve closure nd mitrl vlve opening, determinnts of the vlve movements will lso influence IVRT. Therefore, together with the rte of LV pressure fll, end-systolic ortic pressure s well s left tril pressure constitute the determinnts of IVRT. Multivrite nlysis of dt cquired during incresing volume lod showed direct reltion between IVRT nd r, wheres n inverse reltion between left tril V wve pressure nd IVRT existed. Thus, progressive rise in left tril pressure would tend to cuse n erlier opening of the mitrl vlve,18 which explins why IVRT remined unchnged despite the pprent slowing of relxtion during sline infusion s indicted by r. decline in end-systolic ortic pressure could hve similr effect, but no such chnge ws observed in the present study. LV relxtion is not complete t the strt of the distolic filling period,19,2 nd vrition of relxtion rte would be expected to influence the erly trioventriculr pressure grdient21 nd, hence, the E velocity. Despite unchnged left tril pressure, we TBLE 2. Results of Multiple Regression nlysis found n incresed E velocity during isoproterenol infusion. This could be relted to the inverse reltion between the E velocity nd i. During sline infusion, multivrite nlysis reveled tht left tril V wve pressure ws stronger predictor of the E velocity thn r (Tble 2). These findings re consistent with the study of Choong et l,22 who in ddition demonstrted tht incresing fterlod (pek LV systolic pressure) ws ssocited with decline in the E velocity. In pprent contrst to the ltter, wek tendency (p=.71) towrd n increse in the E velocity by incresing LV systolic pressure ws found in the present study. However, this finding probbly reflects rndom vrition of the dt, becuse no significnt chnge in LV systolic pressure ws observed. In ccordnce with Ishid et l,23 who showed tht IVRT corresponded with the time constnt of LV relxtion but tht the ccelertion time ws not meningful index of erly filling dynmics, we found no consistent chnges in ccelertion time during ny intervention. The incresed decelertion rte during volume loding probbly reflects incresed trnsmitrl flow with more rpid trioventriculr pressure equliztion.

6 Myreng nd Smiseth Doppler Indexes of Left Ventriculr Relxtion 265 decy towrd nonzero symptote. lthough the pericrdium ws open during the experiments, some externl pressure my hve resulted from contct with the Doppler probe, chest wll, lungs, nd fluid in the thorcic cvity. The observed chnges in r during the isoproterenol nd proprnolol interventions reflect chnging inotropy nd re in ccordnce with previous knowledge.6,2425 Like others2326 we found significnt increse in r when LV distolic pressure ws incresed by blood volume expnsion. However, the incresed r during volume loding might be due to incresed LV fterlod (systolic wll stress) rther thn increse in prelod per se.27 The dvntge of the present niml model is tht it llowed control of severl of the hemodynmic determinnts of LV distolic function. limittion of the model is, however, the rther extensive chest surgery nd the bsence of the physiologic influence of the lungs nd the pericrdium. Therefore, the present dt should be interpreted with cre, nd the findings my not be redily extrpolted to other situtions. Furthermore, the pcing protocol my hve cused some synchrony of relxtion, lthough plcing the electrode high on the septum probbly provided more physiologic trnsmission of the electricl impulse thn conventionl right ventriculr picl pcing. Dedicted Doppler offers high sensitivity nd precision for velocity mesurements nd prevents bis due to concomitnt imging.28 Becuse the pericrdium ws open during the experiments, the mitrl orifice my hve become dilted when filling pressure ws elevted. Thus, the E velocity my not hve reflected the true trnsmitrl volume trnsport, in prticulr during sline infusion. Clcultion of flow rther thn mesurement of pek velocity might hve improved the possibility of detecting relxtionrelted chnges in erly distolic filling prmeters. This problem ws prtly overcome by djusting the E velocity ccording to the trnsmitrl velocity time integrl. Mesurement of mitrl flow re would hve introduced significnt mesurement error, nd this might hve incresed vribility substntilly. Despite the limittions inherent in the present experimentl study, the clinicl implictions of our findings re importnt. Tking the dvntge of noninvsive methods into considertion, IVRT ssessed by Doppler echocrdiogrphy ppers to be useful prmeter of LV relxtion nd is more relible thn indirect indexes derived from the trnsmitrl Doppler velocity curve. However, IVRT is influenced by its pressure determinnts nd is not vlid s relxtion prmeter when they re significntly chnged. This limittion reduces the pplicbility of IVRT in clinicl prctice.
