Manageability of acute severe heart failure complicated with left ventricular thrombosis during therapy for breast cancer.
Trastuzumab-related cardiac dysfunction may be manageable and completely reversible with suitable cardiac medication, allowing optimal breast cancer treatment to continue. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman who developed severe systolic left ventricular failure with impaired contractility of the right ventricle, pulmonary hypertension, and clots in the left ventricular cavity during adj...
متن کاملLeft ventricular endocardial stimulation for severe heart failure.
Biventricular resynchronization, a therapy recommended for patients presenting with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and ventricular dyssynchrony, requires the implantation of an LV lead, usually placed in a lateral or posterolateral tributary of the coronary sinus. Despite important progress made in the development of dedicated instrumentation, the procedure remains sometimes challenging and ...
متن کاملHaemodynamic effects of intravenous morphine in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by severe left ventricular failure.
The haemodynamic effects of intravenous morphine sulphate (0.2 mg/kg body weight) were measured in 10 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by severe left ventricular failure. Fifteen minutes after morphine injection there was a significant fall in mean heart rate (from 109 to 101 beats/min) and mean systemic arterial pressure (from 80 to 65 mm HG), and a small fall in mean card...
متن کاملChronic 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 markers of mortality and ventricular arrhythmias in heart failure patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy
AIMS Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces morbidity and mortality in heart failure. However, prediction of the outcome remains difficult. We aimed to investigate for echocardiographic predictors of ventricular arrhythmias and fatal outcome and to explore how myocardial function is changed by biventricular pacing in heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively included 170 he...
