Modelling > Pathologies and modelling modes > Pathologies and parametrical modes > Systolic left ventricular dysfunction

This pathologic mode is characterized by the following list of hemodynamic changes:

• reduction of stroke volume due to decrease of left ventricular inotropic status, accompanied by increase of end-systolic ventricular volume;
• increase of end-diastolic ventricular pressure, i. e. ventricular filling pressure;
• increase of end-diastolic ventricular volume (myogenic dilatation) due to reduction of left ventricular wall elasticity and increase of its stressless volume;
• venous pulmonary passive congestion down to development of pulmonary edema, it is modelled by increase of total blood volume.

Systolic ventricular dysfunction

a) norm b) systolic ventricular dysfunction: increase of end-systolic ventricular volume, increase of end-diastolic ventricular volume, increase of ventricular stressless volume
