Global Ventricular Function and Hemodynamics 205Figure 9.30 Right ventricular diastolic dysfunction during off-pump bypass surgery in a 67-year-old man. (A, B) Baseline: rightventricular pressure (Prv) tracing and hepatic venous flow (HVF) profile. The S/D ratio is .1. (C, D) Hemodynamic instabilityduring clamping of the left diagonal coronary artery. The Prv becomes increasingly steeper in diastole. The S/D ratio is inverted.(EKG, electrocardiogram).Figure 9.31 Mild right ventricular diastolic dysfunction in a 70-year-old man before cardiac revascularization. (A) On the pressuretracing, the right atrial pressure (Pra) waveform shows a predominant “A” wave. (B) The right ventricular pressure (Prv) tracingshows a normal relatively flat diastolic waveform. (C) The pulsed-wave Doppler transtricuspid flow (TTF) tracing shows a predominantE-wave with a prolonged deceleration time (320 ms). (D) The tricuspid annular velocities (TAV) present an E t /A t ratio consistent withmild right ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The hepatic venous flow was normal (not shown). The atrial kick can be seen on the beatingheart. The Pra, Prv, and pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa) are on a 0–20, 0–40, and 0–200 mmHg scale respectively (EKG, electrocardiogram).
