Cognitive dysfunction in congestive heart failure: transcranial Doppler evidence of microembolic etiology.
Cognitive symptoms are common in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and are usually attributed to low cerebral blood flow. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate global cognitive function (Mini Mental State Exam MMSE) in relation to both cardiac function (evaluated by echocardiogram) and cerebrovascular hemodynamics (evaluated by transcranial Doppler TCD) in CHF patients. In 83 pa...
متن کاملCONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE IN CHILDREN: A SURVEY OF 114 PATIENTS
During a period of four years between June, IS, 1988 to June, IS, 1992 one hundred and fourteen patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were admitted to the pediatric department of Taleghani General Hospital. During the above period, 192 patients with heart disease were hospitalized at this department and CHF was the cause of admission in 59.4% of them. Congenital heart disease (CHO) w...
متن کاملRespiratory Muscle Dysfunction in Congestive Heart Failure
Background—In congestive heart failure (CHF), the prognostic significance of impaired respiratory muscle strength has not been established. Methods and Results—Maximal inspiratory pressure (Pimax) was prospectively determined in 244 consecutive patients (207 men) with CHF (ischemic, n575; idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, n5169; age, 54611 years; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 2261...
متن کاملDetection of congestive heart failure in dogs by Doppler echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic prediction of congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs has not been prospectively evaluated. HYPOTHESIS CHF can be predicted by Doppler echocardiographic (DE) variables of left ventricular (LV) filling in dogs with degenerative mitral valve disease (MVD) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). ANIMALS Sixty-three client-owned dogs. METHODS Prospective clinical cohort ...
متن کاملRespiratory dysfunction in congestive heart failure: correction after heart transplantation.
Severe chronic congestive heart failure (CCHF) is known to induce a restrictive ventilatory defect, with a small decrease in lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TLCO). The aim of the present work was to assess the reversibility of this dysfunction. We studied a group of 47 patients with CCHF, before and one year after heart transplantation. The measurements included static and dynamic lun...
