P144 ASCENDING AND DESCENDING THORACIC AORTA PU-LOOPS FOR THE ESTIMATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR AFTERLOAD

Introduction: Pressure-Velocity (PU) loops obtained in the descending thoracic aorta (PU-loopsdes) could estimate left ventricular afterload with two remarkable angles: β and GALA (Global Afterload Angle) [1].The aim of this study is to compare PU-loops measured in the ascending aorta (PU-loopsasc)...
