to test the hypothesis that the altered lv function during pulmonary embolism is primarily due to reduced preload mediated by increased pericardial constraint , hemodynamics and chamber dimensions ( measured by sonomicrometry ) were assessed in seven anesthetized dogs during control volume loading , after pulmonary embolism ( with autologous blood clot ) , and after repeated pulmonary embolism in the volume-loaded state .
