Impact of left ventricular function on immediate and long-term outcomes after pericardiectomy in constrictive pericarditis.
OBJECTIVE Most patients with constrictive pericarditis have normal measures of left ventricular function when assessed by the ejection phase index of ejection fraction, yet there is a wide spectrum of outcome after pericardiectomy. We hypothesized that parameters of non-ejection indexes of cardiac function (+dP/dt and tau) may predict postoperative prognosis. METHODS The immediate and long-te...

Echocardiography was performed with the patient in recumbent position with the special care to record motion of the muscular septum and not that of the aorta. No patient had left bundle branch b...
متن کاملPericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis.
Pericardiectomy is well recognized as a logical and rewarding form of treatment for constrictive pericarditis. The historical background of the operation has been fully described by Sellors (1946) and it is not felt that the series of cases to be presented here has anything to add to the clinical picture of constrictive pericarditis so fully described by Evans and Jackson (1952). There are cert...
متن کاملPericardiectomy in pregnancy.
The range of cardiac surgery in pregnancy has been extended from procedures such as mitral valvulotomy and repair of aortic coarctation to include a variety of 'open-heart' operations undertaken with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass (Ueland, 1965; Zitnik, Brandenburg, Sheldon, and Wallace, 1969). Rheumatic and congenital lesions are the forms of heart disease most frequently encountered in pre...
