Experimental analysis on formations of several ridges in peripheral artery velocity tracing / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the formations of several ridges in peripheral artery velocity tracing. Methods The experimental models of constrainting limb and adrenaline were performed in 6 juvenile susscrota domesticas,tbe variations of the external lilac artery velocity tracing observed,and the parameters of peak systolic velocity (PSV), minimum post-systolic velocity (MPV), peak diastolic velocity(PDV) and end diastolic velocity(EDV) were obtained. Results With the increase of downstream circulation resistance, systolic waveshape inclined to acumination, MPV gradually degraded to zero and negatively increased subsequently, diastolic wave amplitude lowered, and EDV gradually decreased to zero. The stronger vasoconstriction was, the more striking the variations were. Conclusions Cardiac ejection forms systolic dominant wave, post-systolic backward ware is the result of backstreaming because of elastic recoil of downstream artery,and diastolic forward ware is the result of blood transient acceleration caused by elastic recoil of upstream artery. Systemic vascular resistance has significant effect on diastolic waveshape,and the occurrence of post-systolic backward ware implies downstream circulation resistance obviously increases.
