Estimation of bladder contractility from intravesical pressure–volume measurements

Abstract

The rate of isovolumetric subtracted detrusor pressure (t_20-80 ) increase shows a very significant association with indices of bladder contractility as derived from a derived force-velocity curve. We propose that t_20-80 is a detrusor contractility parameter (DCP). Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:1009-1014, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
