PURPOSE: To assess the effects of the elevation of the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) on the value of the 1st temporal derivative of the ventricular pressure (dP/dt). METHODS: Nineteen anesthetized dogs were studied. The dogs were mechanically ventilated and underwent thoracotomy with parasympathetic nervous system block. The LVEDP was controlled with the use of a perfusion circuit connected to the left atrium and adjusted to the height of a reservoir. The elevation of the LVEDP was achieved by a sudden increase in the height of a reservoir filled with blood. Continuous recordings of the electrocardiogram, the aortic and ventricular pressures and the dP/dt were performed. RESULTS: Elevation of the LVEDP did not result in any variation of the heart rate (167±16.0bpm, before the procedure; 167±15.5bpm, after the procedure). All the other variables assessed, including systolic blood pressure (128±18.3mmHg and 150±21.5mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (98±16.9mmHg and 115±19.8mmHg), LVEDP (5.5±2.49 and 9.3±3.60mmHg), and dP/dt (4,855 ± 1,082 mmHg/s and 5,149±1,242mmHg/s) showed significant increases following the expansion of the ventricular cavity. Although the elevation of the dP/dt was statistically significant, 6 dogs curiously showed a decrease in the values of dP/dt. CONCLUSION: Sudden elevation of the LVEDP resulted in increased values of dP/dt; however, in some dogs, this response was not uniform.

Os deslocamentos químicos de RMN 13C de carbonos a , b , g e d de 17 conjuntos de haletos (F, Cl Br e I) alifáticos, inclusive compostos mono, bi e tricíclicos, podem ser reproduzidos por uma equação linear de duas constantes e duas variáveis do tipo : d R-X = A*d R-X1 + B*d R-X2 onde A e B são constantes obtidas por regressão multilinear a partir de deslocamentos químicos de 13C; d R-X, o deslocamento químico de 13C do composto com halogênio (R-X); d R-X1 e d R-X2 deslocamentos químicos de outros haletos. Para brometos (R-X) alifáticos a melhor correlação foi obtida com os dados de fluoretos (R-X1) e iodetos (R-X2) com R2 de 0,9989 e desvio médio absoluto (DM) de 0,39ppm. Para cloretos (R-X) a melhor correlação foi com dados de brometos (R-X1) e iodetos (R-X2) com R2 de 0,9960 e DM de 0,76ppm. Para fluoretos (R-X) a melhor correlação foi com brometos (R-X1) e iodetos (R-X2) com R2 de 0,9977 e DM de 1,10ppm e para iodetos (R-X) foi com fluoretos (R-X1) e brometos (R-X2) com R2 de 0,9972 e desvio médio absoluto de 0,60 ppm.

The 13C NMR chemical shifts of the a , b , g and d carbons of 17 sets of aliphatic halides (F, Cl, Br and I ), including mono, bi and tricyclic componds, can be reproduced by a linear equation composed with two constants and two variables: d R-X = A * d R-X1 + B* d R-X2, where A and B are constants derived from multilinear regression of 13C chemical shifts observed; d R-X, the chemical shifts of aliphatic halide (R-X) and d R-X1, d R-X2 the chemical shifts of other halides. Were observed better correlation for aliphatic bromides (R-X) by using data of aliphatic fluorides (R-X1) and aliphatic iodides (R-X2), resulting R2 of 0.9989 and average absolute deviation (AVG) of 0.39 ppm. For the clorides (R-X), the better correlation were observed by using data of bromides (R-X1) and iodides (R-X2), R2 of 0.9960 and AVG of 0.76ppm. For the fluorides (R-X) were observed better correlation with data of bromides (R-X1) and iodides (R-X2), R2 of 0.9977 and AVG of 1.10 ppm. For the iodides (R-X) were observed better correlation with data of fluorides (R-X1) and bromides (R-X2), R2 of 0.9972 and AVG of 0.60.
