RIGHT VENTRICULAR VOLUME The authors measured right ventricular volumes In 15 subjects without heart disease and In ten with congestive heart failure secondary to left ventricular disease. The residual fractions were determined from pulmonary artery thermodilution curves following Injections of cold sallne Into the right ventricle. Stroke output was measured simultaneously from a direct Fick cardiac output, permitting calculation of absolute end-systollc and end-tUastoile volumes. The ratio end-systollc volume /dlastoile volume averaged 53.4 per cent In subjects without heart disease and was significantly higher, averaging 71.9 per cent, in the patients with congestive heart failure. Although absolute right ventricular
end-dlastollc volume was occasionally Increased. most patients with congestive heart fallure had enddiastollc volumes In the normal range at rest. Moderate exercise In the recumbent position generally decreased the residual fraction in subjects without heart disease without a significant change In enddiastollc volume; in contrast, patients with congestive heart failure increased both residual fraction and absolute end-diastollc volumes with exercise.
