Left ventricular mechanical efficiency in coronary artery disease

Left ventricular function in coronary artery disease.

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 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...

Left ventricular mechanical efficiency in man with heart disease.

Thirty-eight adults with valvular and/or myocardial disease had heart catheterization with coronary blood flow and myocardial O2 consumption (MVO2) per 100 g measured by the nitrous oxide washout technique. Quantitative biplane angiocardiography was performed to assess left ventricular volume, mass, ejection fraction and work. Left ventricular efficiency was calculated from work, MVO2/100 g and...

Phasic abnormalities of left ventricular emptying in coronary artery disease.

Seventy subjects with suspected coronary artery disease were studied by radionuclide angiocardiography. Delayed or paradoxically emptying regions of the left ventricle were detected by a relatively new nuclear technique--phase imaging. The results were assessed in the light of cardiac catheterisation findings. Compared with 19 normals, regions with abnormally high phase (and therefore late empt...
