Determination of the Effects of Digoxin on the Right Ventricular Function in Patients Undergoing Pneumonectomy
Introduction: Pneumonectomy is the standard treatment of lung cancer, even though patients should undergo several evaluations before surgery; deterioration of cardiopulmonary function after pulmonary resection is inevitable. We have evaluated the effects of digoxin on the improvement of right ventricular function and prevention of probable complications after lung resection surgery. Materials a...
متن کاملTotal disconnection of the right ventricular free wall: surgical treatment of right ventricular tachycardia associated with right ventricular dysplasia.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a myopathy that affects the right ventricular free wall (RVFW) and gives rise to recurrent reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT). Because the entire right ventricle is potentially arrhythmogenic, ablating a single site of VT may not eliminate the arrhythmia. We developed an operation to confine any arrhythmic activity arising from the right ventric...
متن کاملThe ventricular septum: the lion of right ventricular function, and its impact on right ventricular restoration.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the structure-function relationships of the right ventricle (RV) and septum and determine if the helical ventricular band model would define fiber orientation for maximal force response. Implications were made for right ventricular function. METHODS The right ventricular free wall and biventricular septum were studied by inserting sonomicrometer crystals at different ang...
متن کاملEllipsoidal shell subtraction model of right ventricular volume. Comparison with regional free wall dimensions as indexes of right ventricular function.
Pulse-transit sonomicrometry was used to measure the base-apex (a), anteroposterior (b), and septal-free wall (c) diameters of the left ventricle and the septal-free wall diameter of the right ventricle (d) in eight excised and three isolated, pump-perfused canine heart preparations, as well as in nine conscious dogs. In the three perfused hearts and in four of the excised hearts, right ventric...
متن کاملRight ventricular free wall circumferential strain reflects graded elevation in acute right ventricular afterload.
This study was designed to evaluate the concurrent changes in the right ventricular free wall (RVFW) movement in experimentally induced, acute mild, moderate, and severe right ventricle (RV) afterload conditions. In 14 open-chest pigs (weight 43 +/- 4 kg) with preserved pericardia, acute mild (>35 and <50 mmHg), moderate (> or =50 and < or =60 mmHg), and severe (>60 mmHg) increases in RV systol...
