effect of elective percutaneous coronary intervention on left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease

coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity across the world. its treatment includes medical treatment, coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pci on echocardiographic findings of left ventricular (lv) systolic and diastolic function. 115 patients with co...

Mechanocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function in coronary artery disease.

Multiple regression analysis was used in order to evaluate the independent contribution and combined use of mechanocardiographic indices for assessing cardiac function in 23 patients with coronary artery disease. Three indices were derived from the quantitative displacement left apex cardiogram: the time from the onset of electrical depolarisation to the peak of the first derivative (t peak dD/...

The Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Men and Women Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Objective: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is associated with increased morbidity and mortality therefore, interventions that halt or reverse ventricular remodeling are expected to prevent these clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiac remodeling process in patients with coronary artery disease and then compare the results b...

Effect of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

BACKGROUND There is considerable disagreement over the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on left ventricular diastolic function that has necessitated the investigation of diastolic indices. The present study was conducted to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function and its indices, three months after performing the PCI procedure in patients with coronary artery disease (CA...
