Implication

Does not support clinical changes in atrial assessment; extends animal models of atrial mechanics but leaves open human translation.

Structured PICO

Population

Open-chest cats

Intervention

Acute alterations in venous return, sympathetic and vagal electrical stimulations, and heart rate changes

Outcome

Instantaneous changes of a diameter of the right atrium measured by sonomicrometer techniquesurrogate

This preclinical study characterizes the instantaneous dimensional changes of the right atrium in cats, identifying five distinct phases of diameter changes and suggesting an isovolumic phase of atrial contraction.
