Assessment of left ventricular function by the midwall fractional shortening/end-systolic stress relation in human hypertension.
OBJECTIVES This study examined left ventricular performance in relatively unselected hypertensive patients by use of physiologically appropriate midwall shortening/end-systolic stress relations. BACKGROUND Supranormal left ventricular function has been reported in hypertensive patients, possibly due to an artifact of mismatching endocardial rather than midwall fractional shortening to mean le...
متن کاملAugmentation of left ventricular contractility by cardiac sympathetic neural stimulation.
BACKGROUND Electric stimulation of mediastinal sympathetic cardiac nerves increases cardiac contractility but is not selective for the left ventricle because it elicits sinus tachycardia and enhanced atrioventricular conduction. The aim of this study was to identify sympathetic neural structures inside the heart that selectively control left ventricular inotropy and can be accessed by transveno...
متن کاملImprovement in midwall myocardial shortening with regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Despite normal indices of left ventricular (LV) chamber function, patients with LV hypertrophy (LVH) due to hypertension are thought to have depressed midwall systolic shortening compared with normotensives. The aims of the present study were (1) to confirm this observation and (2) to assess the effects of antihypertensive therapy that cause regression of LVH on LV systolic function assessed at...
متن کاملHypereosinophilic Cardiac Involvement Presenting With Left Ventricular Massive Thrombus and Cardioembolic Stroke: A Case Report
Introduction: It is well known that the tendency toward thrombosis is increased in cancer patients. The increase in cancer procoagulant and tissue factor levels, endothelial damage, and stasis due to compression are among the most accused causes of thrombosis in cancer patients. Hypereosinophilia is a rare condition that causes endothelial damage leading to thrombosis. <s...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular contractility during supine exercise in children with left-sided cardiac disease.
Exercise stresses the cardiovascular system and causes it to use its reserve capacities. Exercise assessment may unmask abnormalities of left ventricular contractility not suspected from or detected by resting measurements. We have studied the following indices of left ventricular contractility in 21 children with left-sided congenital heart disease: maximum dP/dt, Vmax, Vpm, Vcf, and peak meri...
