French term

périaorto-cardiaque

French to English Medical Medical (general) thesis about Perthes dise
Hi, this term appears in the 'Physiopathology' section of a thesis about Perthes disease.

Selon Vidal [5] la manœuvre de Valsalva résulte d'un effort musculaire intense a glotte fermée. Elle comporte quatre phases : la phase 1 débute par une élévation brutale des pressions artérielles systolique (Pasys) et diastolique (PadiaJ. A la phase 2, le retour veineux diminue, entraîne une chute des Pasys et Padia, une élévation réflexe du rythme cardiaque et une vasoconstriction périphérique. La phase 3, apparaît immédiatement après la fin de l'effort, la pression artérielle chutant précipitamment, du fait de la diminution des pressions périaorto-cardiaque. La phase 4, se caractérise par une augmentation du retour veineux parallèlement à la vasoconstriction et l'élévation du volume d'éjection, en présence d'une ascension continue des résistances périphériques totales, provoque un épisode d'hyperpression artérielle.

surrounding the heart and aorta

"pressure surrounding the heart and aorta" (peri = around)
I am not aware of a one-word term for this in English.
Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Barnett : Exactly. Today we might just call it intrathoracic pressure. Are we dealing with somewhat archaic terminology in the source text?

Thank you, Michael. May well be somewhat archaic terminology if the author of this text copied the original words from Perthes, Hueter and Vogt (their work is from the 19th century).

intrathoracic pressure

It is the only thing that makes sense to me, after all the research!

Cheers!

he physiologic response to the Valsalva maneuver has been divided into four phases. In the first phase, blood pressure increases slightly due to increased intrathoracic pressure. As forced expiration is continued, mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure decrease. During the second phase, heart rate begins to increase. The third phase begins with release of the forced expiration and consists of a further drop in blood pressure due to a sudden drop in intrathoracic pressure, and the heart rate increase is sustained or may accelerate even more.

No wonder you are baffled with this one; I am unable to find this phrase on any site, except the one you are working on.

If I were you, I would find a good medical site on this manoeuvre in English and take it from there.

Phase 3

(Release of straining)

BP decreases because (essentially reverse of phase 1)

Transient decrease in return of blood due to removal of the squeeze on intrapulmonary vessels
Removal of pressure on aorta

HR increased further [PK1:p157]

HR unchanged because the phase is very brief [KB2:p53]

Phase III of the Valsalva maneuver occurs after the glottis or mouth is opened and the first breath is taken. Blood surges into the right heart, fills the expanding lung vasculature, but return to the left heart is slow. Consequently, left ventricle stroke volume remains low and systemic hypotension continues. Only when normal breathing resumes, in Phase IV, do blood pressure and heart rate renormalize. During this period, arterial pulse pressure becomes very wide, indicative of the large stroke volume resulting from the supra-normal left ventricular filling which occurs as pent-up venous blood returns to the heart. Fainting (syncope) due to cerebral ischemia may occur during Phases II or III, when hypotension is most extreme. The Valsalva maneuver should be attempted with caution in persons with coronary artery disease.

I am unable to find anything with "peri-aortic" in relation to phase III.

p.s.
the only finding in relation to this is the mention of intrathoracic blood pressure, not the aorta or heart.
