β¦ Synopsis
The contractility of the urinary bladder can be adequately described in terms of the parameters P0 (isometric pressure) and Vmax (maximum contraction velocity). In about 12% of urodynamic evaluations of patients these clinically relevant parameters can be calculated from pressure and flow rate as measured during micturition. A method was developed of estimating Vmax for any micturition from these signals. The properties of this estimated contractility parameter were clinically tested and are discussed.
