Effects of mild and severe right ventricular overload on right atrial reservoir, conduit, and pump function

Baseline Mild PA Band P Value Baseline Severe PA Band P Value
RA reservoir volume, ml 8.9 ± 1.4 8.3 ± 1.5 0.40 10.3 ± 1.3 8.1 ± 3.5 0.18
RV CV, ml 7.7 ± 4.0 12.2 ± 7.2 0.34 6.6 ± 2.3 10.2 ± 4.2 0.07
RV PV, ml 6.2 ± 1.3 5.5 ± 0.5 0.32 5.1 ± 1.3 5.5 ± 3.6 0.74
RA reservoir function 39 ± 5% 34 ± 8% 0.33 47 ± 6% 33 ± 4% 0.04
RA conduit function 33 ± 11% 42 ± 20% 0.44 30 ± 9% 43 ± 13% 0.01
RA booster pump function 28 ± 9% 24 ± 12% 0.55 23 ± 5% 24 ± 14% 0.94

Data are means ± SD. CV, conduit volume; PV, booster pump volume. P values were determined using repeated-measures ANOVA.
