SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NON-INVASIVELY DETERMINING A LEFT VENTRICULAR END-DIASTOLIC PRESSURE

摘要

A system and method for determining a left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of blood within a left ventricle of a patient includes non-invasively measuring a plurality of cardiac parameters of the patient. The cardiac parameters may include a mitral valve area, and at least one of a stroke volume of the left ventricle, a left ventricular diastolic filling time, and a maximum velocity of blood entering the left ventricle. The systems and methods further include a step of calculating the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure using the measured cardiac parameters.
