it was concluded in the author 's study using the above brain death model that 1 ) responses of catecholamine to the peripheral vascular system were of lesser grade than those to the heart , and 2 ) ea/ees ( ventriculo-arterial coupling ) should be extremely useful in evaluating left ventricular performance on the basis of the cardio-vascular hemodynamic relationship , and was strongly suggested to be a reliable index of left ventricular performance in brain death .
