In fact, ejection fraction is preload and afterload dependent, and it correlates poorly with myocardial contractility.
Kyriakides et al ., employing a Doppler echocardiographic technique, showed that the postural change increases preload and cardiac performance in normovolaemic coronary patients [ 10].
They suggested that the left lateral position resulted in a hyperdynamic state and that the right lateral position decreased right ventricular preload, resulting in hypotension.
Perhaps more important, these observations were valid for a wide range of PEEP levels, from 5 cmH 2 O to as high as 17 cmH 2 O. We ascribed the lack of significant changes in cardiac output and DO 2 in the patients to adequate volume status and preload.
When analysing the haemodynamic data, a difficulty can arise in interpreting the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure increase; whether this change is due to an increase in left ventricular preload that follows the increase in venous return, or to a decrease in left ventricular compliance as a result of the leftward shift of the interventricular septum for right ventricular dilatation [ 16, 22].
