title: [Echocardiographic assessment of cardiac pump function using afterloading characteristics].
abstract: Seventy five patients and twenty healthy individuals were investigated by using cardiac ultrasound technique, followed by mathematical simulation of changes in left ventricular pressure during contraction. The findings show that the afterload characteristics based on a wealth of evidence for cardiac and left ventricular performance, unlike the conventional central hemodynamic parameters and cardiac phasic indices, enable the occult circulatory disorders to be revealed and the cardiac compliance with the arterial system to be assessed.
