The interrelationships between hemodynamic variables including right ventricular (RV) performance with filling/ejection dynamics of the Novacor left ventricular assist system (LVAS) were determined in 10 of 11 patients who received LVAS as a bridge to heart transplant. Nine were successfully transplanted. Data were obtained intraoperatively, at periodic intervals up to 48 h postimplant and at explant. The hypotheses investigated included (a) RV performance influences LVAS filling characteristics and (b) LVAS pump output is influenced by systemic vascular resistance (SVR). During the period of LVAS support (2-126 days), pumping characteristics included a mean filling volume of 51 ml (range, 24-70), residual volume of 4.9 ml (range, 1-18), pump rate of 113/min (range, 63-175), and pump output of 5.81/min (range, 2.8-8.2). Multiple regression analysis identified pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), RV stroke work index (RVSWI), and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, but not RV ejection fraction, pulmonary artery pressure, or central venous pressure (CVP) as the most important correlates with LVAS filling volume (p less than 0.001, R2 = 0.6). In addition, LVAS pump output was influenced mainly by RVSWI, PVR, and SVR (p less than 0.001, R2 = 0.7). It was concluded that LVAS performance is highly dependent on RV function and systemic/pulmonary vascular resistances.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
