Advanced Monitoring Parameters: CPI

Contractility

Contractility is another factor that influences cardiac output. Contractility of the myocardium represents the ability of the heart to contract independent of the influence from preload or afterload. Substances that cause an increase in intracellular calcium ions lead to an increase in contractility. Different concentrations of calcium ions in the cell lead to a different degree of binding between the actin (thin) and myosin (thick) filaments of the heart muscle.

Cardiac power index (CPI)

CPI represents the power of left ventricular cardiac output in watts. It is the product of pressure (MAP) and flow (CO). In clinical studies it has been found to be the strongest independent predictor of hospital mortality in cardiogenic shock patients.^[1],^[2]
