Left ventricular structural and functional characteristics in Cushing's syndrome.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate left ventricular (LV) anatomy and function in patients with Cushing's syndrome. BACKGROUND A high prevalence of LV hypertrophy and concentric remodeling has been reported in Cushing's syndrome, although no data have been reported on LV systolic and diastolic function. METHODS Forty-two consecutive patients with Cushing's syndrome and 42 control...

• The heart chambers contract sequentially and any significant alteration in spread of the electrical activity may bring about a change in sequence. While recording contractile force from multiple sites on a single ventricle, it was noted that different portions of the ventricular myocardium showed consecutive onset of systole. Puff employed high-speed cinematography to study changes in ventric...

Glucocorticoids are crucial in the initiation and consolidation of the stress response. Patients with active Cushing’s syndrome (CS) are exposed to excessive endogenous glucocorticoid levels. In these patients, psychopathology is often being observed. The most common co-morbid disorder is major depression, but to a lesser extent mania and anxiety disorders have also been reported. A severe clin...
متن کاملDiastolic left ventricular functional indices: Comparison between gated myocardial perfusion SPECT and echocardiography
Introduction: Many patients have only diastolic dysfunction without any abnormality in systolic function. We compared cardiac diastolic parameters obtained by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (Gated SPECT) with those evaluated by echocardiography. Methods: Forty-nine patients (aged 37-85 years, 19 males and 30 women) underwent Gated SPECT and echocardiogr...
