Education level may modify the association between cardiac index and cognitive function among elders with normal ejection function [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 BackgroundLower cardiac index (CI) in elders has been associated with incident dementia, and higher CI has protectively effect with brain aging. In the present study, we investigated the modulating effects of education level and arterial stiffness on the

Novel Computed Tomography Angiography Parameter Is Associated with Low Cardiac Index in Patients with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Retrospective Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and DiseaseChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complication of incomplete resolution of acute pulmonary embolism. We hypothesize changes in CT Hounsfield Unit gradient (HU-Δ) created by the dispersion of IV contrast through the downstream ...

Changes in the Cardiac Index Induced by Unilateral Passive Leg Raising in Spontaneously Breathing Patients: A Novel Way to Assess Fluid Responsiveness [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 BackgroundEvaluation of fluid responsiveness in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is crucial. This study was to determine whether changes in the cardiac index (CI) induced by a unilateral passive leg raising (PLR) test in spontaneously breathing ...

Effect of different volumes of bupivacaine 0.25% caudal blocks on cardiac index measured by electrical cardiometry in children undergoing elective lower abdominal surgeries: A randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Indian Journal of AnaesthesiaBackground and Aims: Studies assessing caudal block’s effects on children’s cardiac output are scarce. We aimed to estimate the effects of the caudal block using different volumes of plain bupivacaine 0.25% on the cardiac index assessed by electrical ...

Factors leading to supranormal cardiac index in pediatric pulmonary hypertension patients treated with parenteral prostanoid therapy [PDF]
Pulmonary Circulation, 2023 Parenteral prostanoid therapy (PPT) can result in supranormal cardiac index (SCI; >4 L/min/m2) in pediatric pulmonary hypertension (PPH) patients. We evaluated the incidence, hemodynamic factors, and outcomes associated with SCI in PPH.

Relationship between pulse pressure variation and stroke volume variation with changes in cardiac index during hypotension in patients undergoing major spine surgeries in prone position - A prospective observational study [PDF]
Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2022 Background and Aims: Dynamic indices such as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) are better predictors of fluid responsiveness than static indices.

Evaluation of cardiac index as a criterion for termination of resuscitation with fluid therapy in dogs with hypovolemic shock [PDF]
Āsīb/shināsī-i Darmāngāhī-i Dāmpizishkī, 2020 The cardiac index which is obtained by dividing the cardiac output on the body surface is known as the standard parameter to evaluate tissue perfusion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiac index changes as a novel criterion to estimate the ...
