Chronic Left Ventricular Heart Failure
The effect of the vasodilator prazosin vs placebo on exercise duration until marked dyspnea, and on left ventricular function measured by echocardiography, was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized study in 24 patients with chronic left ventricular failure despite digitalis and diuretic therapy. Compared with the double-blind placebo, prazosin reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pres...
متن کاملLeft ventricular heart failure and pulmonary hypertension†
In patients with left ventricular heart failure (HF), the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequent and have important impact on disease progression, morbidity, and mortality, and therefore warrant clinical attention. Pulmonary hypertension related to left heart disease (LHD) by far represents the most common form of PH, accounting for 65-80%...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction in advanced heart failure.
For many years cardiologists were not interested in studying right ventricular function and the role of the right ventricle in heart failure and in other disease states has therefore been largely underestimated. More recently a consensus has grown on the critical role of right ventricular function in patients with advanced congestive heart failure. The estimation of right ventricular function i...
متن کاملsignal-averaged electrocardiography in patients with advanced heart failure: a better indicator of left ventricular enlargement compared with conventional electrocardiography
background : the signal-averaged electrocardiography is a noninvasive method to evaluate the presence of the potentials generated by tissues activated later than their usual timing in the cardiac cycle. the purpose of this study was to demonstrate the correlation between the filtered qrs duration obtained via the signal-averaged electrocardiography and left ventricular dimensions and volumes an...
متن کاملassessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony in heart failure patients regarding underlying etiology and qrs duration
background : left ventricular (lv) dyssynchrony is a prevalent feature in heart failure (hf) patients. the current study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of inter and intraventricular dyssynchrony in hf patients with regard to the qrs duration and etiology. methods: the available data on the tissue doppler imaging (tdi) of 230 patients with refractory hf were analyzed. the patients were divided...
