NONINVASIVE EVALUATION OF HUMAN CIRCULATION
J. SIMONVI
Noninvasive techniques are being increasingly applied in the study of human circulation. This is due to the fact that direct measurements in the heart applied before cardiac operations are not without danger and can only be performed in well-equipped institutes, the capacity of which is limited even in the most developed countries. Noninvasive procedures being simple and harmless are more suitable for serial investigations. They help in solving not only diagnostic but also epidemiological and clinicopharmacologi-cal problems.
In this monograph, the author shows how the first derivative of the carotid pulse follows positive inotropic effects. With this method a series of investigations were made in healthy subjects as well as in cardiac patients at rest, during ergometric exercise and under drug effect. The results help to gain deeper insight into heart failure, and into the pathomechanism of hypertension and essential... Tovább

In this monograph, the author shows how the first derivative of the carotid pulse follows positive inotropic effects. With this method a series of investigations were made in healthy subjects as well as in cardiac patients at rest, during ergometric exercise and under drug effect. The results help to gain deeper insight into heart failure, and into the pathomechanism of hypertension and essential hyperkinetic heart syndrome. The method may also be applied for clinicopharmacological investigations. Computer analysis was applied to evaluate the large number of data and to clarify the relations between the changes in parameters. Programs have been devised that are suitable for differentiating between the reactions of healthy subjects and those of cardiac patients thus creating the basis for a mathematical diagnosis.
