This study aimed to evaluate the impact of increased LA pressure on the estimation of PA impedance and its associated parameters. We used eight male Sprague-Dawley rats to measure PA impedance using (1) one-input, one-output (I1O1) analysis that does not consider LA pressure in the calculation, and (2) two-input, one-output (I2O1) analysis that takes into account the potential effect of LA pressure on PA flow and pressure. Under normal physiological conditions, both I1O1 and I2O1 analyses provided accurate estimates of PA impedance with high coherence function. However, when LA pressure was increased by transverse aortic ligation with blood transfusion, I1O1 analysis showed reduced coherence in the low frequency range, whereas I2O1 analysis maintained reasonable estimation of PA impedance. When parameterizing PA impedance estimated by I2O1 analysis, rapid increase in LA pressure was associated with decreased pulmonary arterial compliance (Cp), without affecting peripheral pulmonary resistance (Rp), characteristic impedance of the proximal arteries (Zc) or transmission time from the main trunk to the reflection sites.
