Abstract

It has been reported that more than half of the ejected blood from the left ventricle is stored in the aorta during systole and expelled during diastole. One important organ that receives blood flow mainly during diastole is the heart. It is also reported that the cardiac blood supply-workload balance in small children is disadvantageous to the heart. Therefore, we measured the aortic reservoir function and examined the relationship between the aortic reservoir function and the cardiac blood supply-workload balance. The percent diastolic runoff, which is the percentage of the diastolic blood flow of the total cardiac output, was measured as the index of the aortic reservoir function. The subendocardial viability ratio-the ratio of the diastolic pressure time index (the blood supply to the heart) to the tension time index (implying the myocardial oxygen demand)-was investigated as an index of the cardiac blood supply-workload balance in children. The percent diastolic runoff was 51.7 ± 4.5%, smaller than that in adult. It had a significant positive relationship to age (r2 = 0.32, p = 0.0052). The subendocardial viability ratio was 100.8 ± 19.6% and had a strong relationship to the percent diastolic runoff (r2 = 0.92, p < 0.0001). The percent diastolic runoff had a positive relationship with age during childhood. The value had a strong impact on the cardiac blood supply-workload balance.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 December 2017.
All research outputs
#18,581,651
of 23,015,156 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Cardiology
#863
of 1,413 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#329,955
of 441,864 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Cardiology
#16
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,015,156 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,413 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 441,864 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
