Diastolic Heart Failure Predicted by Left Atrial Expansion Index in Patients with Severe Diastolic Dysfunction
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) echocardiographic parameters are increasingly used to predict clinically relevant cardiovascular events. The study aims to evaluate the LA expansion index (LAEI) for predicting diastolic heart failure (HF) in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. METHODS This prospective study enrolled 162 patients (65% male) with preserved LV systolic f...
متن کاملROLE OF ECHO-DOPPLER In HEART FAILURE
The impact of heart failure (HF) on the global health care community is well recognized. Moreover the incidence and prevalence of HF is increasing, both in developed and developing countries. In the US alone, HF accounts for approximately 727,000 emergency department visits, 1 million hospital admissions with an estimated overall annual cost of about $ 29 billion way back in 2006 . However its ...
متن کاملCor Triatriatum Sinistrum Presenting as Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease A Rare Case Report
Cor triatriatum is an acyanotic congenital heart disease. We present a rare case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 6-month-old female infant who was presented with cyanosis and failure to thrive. The 2D transthoracic echocardiography and the Doppler color flow imaging showed a proximal venous chamber communicating to the distal left atrium through restrictive opening to the low-pressure, dis...
متن کاملPii: S1388-9842(98)00005-1
Background: Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides are correlated with atrial pressures, as are left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular filling abnormalities. Aims: This study investigated the relation of atrial natriuretic peptides to both left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in heart failure. Methods: Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptid...
متن کاملA case of mitochondrial cardiomyopathy with restrictive transmitral filling pattern
A 61-year-old diabetic woman with a mitochondrial A3243G mutation was hospitalized for evaluation of breathlessness, general fatigue, and leg edema. Chest radiography revealed cardiomegaly with massive pleural effusion. Serum lactate, pyruvate, and brain natriuretic peptide concentrations were elevated. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a restrictive pattern of transmitral flow, although ...
