The time constant (T) is commonly used for representing the isovolumic fall in left ventricular pressure (LVP) because the isovolumic fall is monoexponential under most circumstances. However, the determination of T is cumbersome due to the requirement of a set of LVP versus time values in fitting a monoexponential function. RT64, which is the time from the minimum value of the time derivative of LVP (-dp/dtmax) to 36% of -dP/dtmax, can be derived beat-by-beat, on-line, and may be a simple alternative to T. Through the use of 240 pairs of values derived from six conscious instrumented dogs treated with different cardiovascular active agents, RT64 and T were found to be significantly correlated (r = 0.835, p less than 0.05) according to the equation RT64 = 0.725T + 10.2. In conclusion, RT64 may provide a simple alternative to T in representing the isovolumic relaxation process of the left ventricle.
时间常数(T)通常用于表示左心室压力(LVP)的等容下降,因为在大多数情况下,等容下降是单指数的。然而,由于在拟合单指数函数时需要一组LVP与时间的值,T的确定很繁琐。RT64是从左心室压力时间导数的最小值(-dp/dtmax)到-dP/dtmax的36%所需的时间,可以逐搏、在线推导得出,并且可能是T的一个简单替代指标。通过使用从六只接受不同心血管活性药物治疗的清醒插管犬获得的240对数值,根据方程RT64 = 0.725T + 10.2发现RT64与T显著相关(r = 0.835,p < 0.05)。总之,在表示左心室等容舒张过程时,RT64可能是T的一个简单替代指标。
