title: [Evaluation of regional heart function by means of local changes in pressure and direction in the vector cardiogram].
abstract: Regional function parameters under myocardial ischemia are frequently clearly changed when the parameters as the stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction and the like are still unchanged by a compensation mechanism. Length changes can be measured regionally and phasically by means of a mercury wire strain gauge. The active shortening during the ejection time in relation to the total length change in this region is a possibility for the registration of the relative systolic shortening (delta LS%). Changes will be quantified still clearer and earlier if in the x-y display a vector representation of the regional displacements with the pressure in the left ventricle takes place. The plane of this vector decreased already a few seconds after the coronary occlusion. This is therefore a special early change in ischemia. The important for the estimation of therapeutic measures and other indirect measuring methods is accentuated.
