Baseline aortic hemodynamic values from CABG patients are now available; hypothesis-generating for atheroma effects on cardiac workload via impedance.
Observational (n=16)
Direct measurement of aortic hemodynamics during CABG provides baseline values for haemodynamic power and input impedance, suggesting that atheroma may increase cardiac workload by altering capacitative coupling.
Wright et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease requiring CABG (n=16). Ascending aortic blood pressure and flow measurement was evaluated on Total haemodynamic power and input impedance. Measurement of ascending aortic blood pressure and flow in 16 patients undergoing CABG revealed a mean total haemodynamic power of 953.9 mJ/s, of which 11.65% was pulsatile.
