Changes in left ventricular electromechanical relations during targeted hypothermia

Changes in left ventricular electromechanical relations during targeted hypothermia

Abstract Background Targeted hypothermia, as used after cardiac arrest, increases electrical and mechanical systolic duration. Differences in duration of electrical and mechanical systole are correlated to ventricular arrhythmias. The electromechanical window (EMW) becomes negative when the electric...
