Supports pericardial instrumentation for LVEDPSR assessment in open-chest dogs; leaves open applicability to other models or clinical translation.
Does pericardial instrumentation alter the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-strain relationship in open-chest dogs?
Pericardial instrumentation with a balloon transducer and sonomicrometer crystals does not significantly alter the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure-strain relationship in open-chest dogs.
Scott‐Douglas et al. (1991) studied this question.
