Left ventricular dysfunction in the haemodialysis population
Cardiovascular disease in the haemodialysis population continues to contribute to mortality and morbidity. Disorders of left ventricular geometry and function are highly prevalent and lead to increased mortality in this highly vulnerable population. Left ventricular dysfunction (LVDys), often as a result of hypertension, ischaemic cardiac disease or dilated cardiomyopathy, has not been uniforml...
متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
متن کاملechocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...
متن کاملPrevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in a general population.
BACKGROUND Because the process of myocardial remodelling starts before the onset of symptoms, recent heart failure (HF) guidelines place special emphasis on the detection of subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction and the timely identification of risk factors for HF. Our goal was to describe the prevalence and determinants (risk factors) of LV diastolic dysfunction ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Dysfunction (SOLVD)
Background Peak oxygen consumption is reduced in patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure, but functional capacity of patients with asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction has not been assessed by measurement of peak oxygen consumption attained during graded exercise testing. Methods and Results Peak oxygen consumption, that is, aerobic capacity (Vo2, mL/kg per minute), was...
