Ischemia-induced left ventricular (LV) wall thickening compromises the hemodynamic effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, accurate assessment of the severity of ischemia-induced LV wall thickening during CPR is challenging. We investigated, in a swine model, whether hemodynamic parameters, including end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO 2 ) level, are linearly associated with the severity of ischemia-induced LV wall thickening during CPR of consistent quality. We retrospectively analyzed 96 datasets for ETCO 2  level, arterial pressure, LV wall thickness, and the percent of measured end-diastolic volume (%EDV) relative to EDV at the onset of ventricular fibrillation from eight pigs. Animals underwent advanced cardiovascular life support based on resuscitation guidelines. During CPR, LV wall thickness progressively increased while %EDV progressively decreased. Systolic and diastolic arterial pressure and ETCO 2  level were significantly correlated with LV wall thickness and %EDV. Linear mixed effect models revealed that, after adjustment for significant covariates, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure were not associated with LV wall thickness or %EDV. ETCO 2  level had a significant linear relationship with %EDV ( P  = 0.004). However, it could explain only 28.2% of the total variance of %EDV in our model. In conclusion, none of the hemodynamic parameters examined in this study appeared to provide sufficient information on the severity of ischemia-induced LV wall thickening.
