Fig 1 A schematic representation of the anterior view of the LV showing the position of two three-axis accelerometers, one in the LAD perfusion area and one in the CX perfusion area. The directions of the measured epicardial motions are indicated with arrows. X-arrow specifies longitudinal motion, Y-arrow circumferential motion, and Z-arrow radial epicardial motion. The level of LAD occlusion is also indicated. British Journal of Anaesthesia 2009 102, 29-37DOI: (10.1093/bja/aen331) Copyright © 2009 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Representative curves of LV apical accelerometer circumferential velocity, echocardiography circumferential 2D strain and pressures (LV, aorta and left atrium), LV dP/dtmax and ECG at baseline and after 1 min of LAD occlusion. Vsys, peak early systolic velocity; Vivr, velocity in the isovolumic relaxation phase.
