Abstract
Continuous left ventricular pressures were recorded during coronary arteriography performed on patients with coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressures remained unchanged during injections but rose in a cumulative, incremental fashion between individual injections. Elevation of left ventricular dp dt accompanied the late phase of systemic hypotension. The results suggest prompt recovery of left ventricular function after coronary contrast injection. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure elevation was variable with time, appeared related to a volume effect, and was a poor indicator of left ventricular function.
