Right and left ventricular pressure-volume response to respiratory maneuvers

W. P. Santamore, J. L. Heckman and A. A. Bove

With respiration, right ventricular end-diastolic volume fluctuates. We examined the importance of these right ventricular volume changes on left ventricular function. In six mongrel dogs, right and left ventricular volumes and pressures and esophageal pressure were simultaneously measured during normal respiration, Valsalva maneuver, and Mueller maneuver. The right and left ventricular volumes were calculated from cineradiographic positions of endocardial radiopaque markers. Increases in right ventricular volume were associated with changes in the left ventricular (LV) pressure-volume relationship. With normal respiration, right ventricular end-diastolic volume increased 2.3 +/- 0.7 ml during inspiration, LV transmural diastolic pressure was unchanged, and LV diastolic volume decreased slightly. This effect was accentuated by the Mueller maneuver; right ventricular end-diastolic volume increased 10.4 +/- 2.3 ml (P less than 0.05), while left ventricular end-diastolic pressure increased 3.6 mmHg (P less than 0.05) without a significant change in left ventricular end-diastolic volume. Conversely, with a Valsalva maneuver, right ventricular volume decreased 6.5 +/- 1.2 ml (P less than 0.05), and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure decreased 2.2 +/- 0.5 mmHg (P less than 0.05) despite an unchanged left ventricular end-diastolic volume. These changes in the left ventricular pressure-volume relationship, secondary to changes in right ventricular volumes, are probably due to ventricular interdependence. Ventricular interdependence may also be an additional factor for the decrease in left ventricular stroke volume during inspiration.
