Echocardiographic Measures of Diastolic Function Are Preload Dependent during Triggered Positive Pressure Ventilation: A Controlled Crossover Study in Healthy Subjects
Figure 1
Examples of echocardiographic indices of diastolic function in the horizontal position, reverse-Trendelenburg position, and the Trendelenburg position during positive pressure ventilation. : peak early diastolic velocity of the lateral mitral annulus, obtained with tissue Doppler. : peak early transmitral blood flow.
