Mean aortic pressure (Ao), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PA), left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP), cardiac index (CI), stroke index (SI), arterial PO2, pulmonary arterial oxygen saturation (pulmonary arterial So2), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI), left ventricular minute work index (LVMWI), and tension time index (TTI) were obtained before and 1 hour after intravenous digoxin. Patients in moderate or severe failure had significant changes... This content is PDF only. To continue reading please click on the PDF icon.
