Role of Electromechanical Dyssynchrony Assessment During Acute Circulatory Failure and Its Relation to Ventriculo-Arterial Coupling.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Two parallel paradigms of cardiovascular efficiency and haemodynamic optimisation coexist in haemodynamic research. Targeting ventriculo-arterial (VA) coupling [i.e., the ratio between arterial and ventricular elastance (E_V)] and electromechanical coupling are two promising approaches in acute circulatory failure. However, validation of the parameters of electromechanical coupling in critically ill patients is ongoing. Furthermore, a unifying link between VA and electromechanical coupling may exist, as E_V is correlated with different times of the cardiac cycle.
