The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way of measuring physical activity intensity levels. Perceived exertion is how hard you feel like your body is working.
Ventricular Contractility Assessment (dP/dt)) The rate (dP/dt max) of left ventricle (LV) pressure rise in early systole is one of the oldest measures of LV global contractility. The greater the contractile force exerted, the greater the rate of increase in left ventricular pressure. This rate can be measured invasively, using high-fidelity micromanometer catheters inside the LV, as well as non-invasively, from a continuous wave Doppler examination of mitral regurgitation jet.
