Regional pressure differences between sites within the left ventricular cavity have long been identified,and the potential clinical value of diastolic and systolic intraventricular pressure differences(IVPDs)is of increasing interest.This study concluded that the IVPD plays an important role in ventricular filling and emptying and is a reliable indicator of ventricular relaxation,elastic recoil,diastolic pumping,and effective left ventricular filling.Relative pressure imaging,as a novel and potentially clinically applicable measure of left IVPDs,enables early and more comprehensive identification of the temporal and spatial characteristics of IVPD.In the future,as research related to relative pressure imaging continues,this measurement method has the possibility to become more refined and serve as an additional clinical aid that can replace the gold standard cardiac catheterization technique for the diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction. 展开更多

Dyspnea still develops in the latter stages of pregnancy. To explain this symptom, we evaluated the effect of pregnancy on lung function before and after delivery. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Methods:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Records of 23 pregnant patients with CF were retrospectively reviewed for data analysis. Spirometry was recorded prior to pregnancy, at first and third trimesters, and every three months following delivery up to one year. Comparisons between time points were adjusted for age and pre-gestational BMI by analysis of variance (ANOVA). </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Results: </span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Complete clinical and spirometric data were available for eleven of these patients (13 pregnancies total), obtained between 2009 and 2017. FEV1 and FVC declined significantly from baseline to third trimester (by 8.1%, p < 0.043 and 9.3%, p < 0.013, respectively). No statistically significant differences amongst spirometric values were observed, however, when adjusted for BMI and age over the entire time course. FEV1 and FVC recovered to baseline six months and one year following delivery, respectively. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Conclusions: </span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The changes in FEV1 and FVC occur as a result of increases in intravascular blood volume and lung water during the third trimester. At the same time</span></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">,</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> FEV1/FVC increases as there is reversal of bronchiolar constriction with elimination of extracellular fluid and lung water. Furthermore, restoration of end-expiratory lung volume post-partum counteracts reversal of air trapping with resolution of peribronchiolar edema, with FVC remaining unchanged. These changes would explain decrease in dyspnea following delivery in CF patients. 展开更多
