XXXX in the management of right heart failure during left heart bypass.

@entity1169 @entity1707 @entity296 @entity64 @entity998 @entity358 @entity661 @entity2224 @entity1167 @entity67
@entity358 was instituted in 10 @entity1707 when @entity998 . @entity296 was produced by infusion of @entity1169 , and the left ventricle was fully supported by left heart bypass. A stable model of failure was achieved in six @entity1707 . Following application of pulmonary @entity661 right atrial pressure decreased from 18.2 +/- 2.1 to 15.9 +/- 2.5 mm Hg (p less than 0.05). Cardiac output increased from 416 +/- 94 to 758 +/- 127 ml/min (p less than 0.001). Right @entity64 work increased from 0.29 +/- 0.07 to 0.65 +/- 0.12 gm X m. (p less than 0.05). There was no cardiac output before or after institution of balloon counterpulsation in four @entity1707 studied during @entity2224 or @entity1167 . We conclude that pulmonary @entity661 improved cardiac output and right @entity64 work in a model of @entity67 where the pulmonary circulation was unaltered and the left ventricle supported by left heart bypass. Balloon counterpulsation was not effective during @entity2224 or @entity1167 . @entity358 should be considered when @entity998 during left heart bypass.
