Contribution of long axis motion of left ventricular outflow to calculation of left ventricular stroke volume.
Trial report in International journal of cardiac imaging, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Stroke volume can be calculated by using noninvasive Doppler techniques. The products of pulsed Doppler stroke distance of left ventricular outflow and left ventricular outflow area can often be used to calculate stroke volume. However, left ventricular outflow also moves longitudinally toward the apex of the ventricle during systole, so that zero velocity flow cannot be detected by the usual pulsed Doppler studies. We evaluated the contribution of these zero velocity flow to the noninvasive estimation of left ventricular stroke volume in 20 patients with left ventricular disease and in 20 age matched healthy controls. Left ventricular stroke distance was calculated by summing the Doppler stroke distance and the outflow long axis motion. The percentage of zero velocity flow for total stroke volume was calculated in each group. Cardiac output was also measured by thermo-dilution technique. The percentage of zero velocity flow for total noninvasive stroke volume in patients with left ventricular disease was 2.5 +/- 1.1 ml (4.0 +/- 1.5%), significantly lower than in normal subjects, 3.6 +/- 1.0 ml (5.5 +/- 1.5%) (p < 0.05). These long axis motions are significantly reduced, especially in left ventricular disease. Amplitudes of the left ventricular outflow long axis motion were correlated with Doppler stroke distance in all (r = 0.54, p < 0.01). In patients with myocardial infarction, stroke volume by thermo-dilution methods and calculated stroke volume showed good correlation both only by Doppler stroke distance (y = 1.044x + 0.547, r = 0.968) and by Doppler and long axis motion (y = 0.989x + 0.521, r = 0.974). Compared with stroke volume measured by thermodilution method, stroke volume calculated only by Doppler stroke distance was underestimated. We thus demonstrated the influence of zero velocity flow on left ventricular outflow both in patients with left ventricular disease and in normal subjects.
