Abstract

Myocardial ischemia, the condition in which an insufficient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle occurs due to a decrease in coronary blood flow, damages the mechanical function of the LV and may impair pulse transmission. To investigate this, the power associated with the forward (Wf) and reflected (Wr) waves was computed for the normal and ischemia-compromised left ventricle. Results show that power generated by the ischemic heart is decreased as expected, but the pulsatile transmission of pressure and flow is little affected.
