Abstract
In order to estimate the value of haemodynamic parameters in assessing impaired left ventricular function reproducibility of haemodynamic measurements were investigated at rest and during supine exercise on a bicycle ergometer infifty-one patients suspected of arteriosclerotic heart disease by means of a Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery thermodilution catheter and a radial artery catheter. Furthermore the minimal significant changes from rest to exercise was determined. In conclusion we found that haemodynamic measurements during exercise testing estimate left ventricular function in a safe and reproduciblemanner. A rise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) of only 0.9 kPa during exercise was significant, whereas changes in stroke volume index (SVI) were considered significant only when exceeding 9 ml|m2.
