The effect of turbulent blood flow on the contour of systolic pressure in the left and right ventricles and great vessels was investigated in 64 patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Intracardiac pressure and sound were recorded using a catheter-tip micromanometer. Measurements were made in normal subjects and patients with a variety of disorders including aortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, coarctation of the aorta and atrial septal defect. Observations showed a consistent association of the intracardiac murmur, which is indicative of turbulence, with a transient reduction of the centrally recorded systolic pressure. The resultant abnormal systolic pressure contour can be explained on the basis of fluid dynamic considerations related to turbulence.
