Global and Regional Left Ventricular Function
Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this lecture, the participant should be able to: 1. Identify normal and abnormal left ventricular systolic function 2. Perform qualitative and quantitative assessment of left ventricular systolic function 3. Recognize the LV segments and their corresponding coronary distribution 4. Assess regional wall motion in these segments and differentiate between i...
متن کاملRelationships among HIV infection, metabolic risk factors, and left ventricular structure and function.
Our objective was to determine if the presence of metabolic complications (MC) conveyed an additional risk for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in people with HIV. HIV⁺ and HIV⁻ men and women were categorized into four groups: (1) HIV⁺ with MC (43±7 years, n=64), (2) HIV⁺ without MC (42±7 years, n=59), (3) HIV⁻ with MC (44±8 years, n=37), or (4) HIV⁻ controls without MC (42±8 years, n=41). All...
متن کاملAnterior chordal transection impairs not only regional left ventricular function but also regional right ventricular function in mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Preservation of annuloventricular continuity through the chordae tendinae aims to maintain left ventricular (LV) function and thus improve postoperative prognosis. This study was designed to prospectively investigate the effect of anterior chordal transection on global and regional LV and right ventricular (RV) function in mitral regurgitation (MR). METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-five p...
متن کاملLactic acidosis and abnormal liver function in advanced HIV disease.
A 48 year old man receiving HAART presented with late stage HIV disease, non-specific symptoms, a normal sized liver, ascites, and lactic acidosis. Following a failed liver biopsy worsening acidosis developed, requiring ICU support. Progressive liver failure occurred. Endoscopy showed oesophageal varices and a transjugular liver biopsy showed non-cirrhotic cholestasis; findings that were ascrib...
متن کاملImpact of HIV infection on diastolic function and left ventricular mass.
BACKGROUND Patients with HIV have increased risk for cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities among asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals compared with HIV-uninfected individuals. Methods/Results- We performed echocardiography in 196 HIV-infected adults and 52 controls. Left...
