Join us for a full day of PV loop and blood flow focused hardware, software, and surgical techniques training. Understanding of how scientific measurements are derived is essential to quality data collection and interpretation. Speakers and trainers in this workshop will cut through the clutter and summarize the key concepts in analyzing cardiac function using pressure-volume loops, and cardiac output using Transonic's blood flowmeter in the large animal model.

The secondary focus of this workshop will be to analyze quantitative lusitropic and inotropic responses to vasoactive drugs administered to the animal to purposely alter preload, afterload, heart rate and contractility. Attendees will get first-hand experience with surgical equipment, Scisense ADVantage^TM pressure-volume system and catheter, Transonic flow probe for cardiac output measurement, and PV loop analysis software.

Presenters include:

• Robert Hamlin, DVM, Ph.D.
  • The Ohio State University, Columbus
• Javier A. Sala-Mercado, M.D., Ph.D.
  • Wayne State University, Detroit, MI
• Anil Kottam, Ph.D.
  • Scisense Systems Inc., London, ON
• Margo Sosa
  • Transonic Systems Inc., Ithaca, NY
