New modalities assessing left and right ventricular function: How they apply to myocardial infarction.
The combination of left ventricular function, especially left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), with clinical characteristics has been successfully used for an extended period to guide therapeutic decisions in patients with heart failure (HF) and myocardial infarction, despite numerous approaches to identify better prognostic indices. In recent years, new echocardiographic modalities have bee...
متن کاملEffect of exercise training and L-arginine supplementation on oxidative stress and left ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exercise training and L-arginine supplementation on oxidative stress and systolic ventricular function in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: Four weeks after the surgically-induced MI, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following 4 groups (n=10): MI-sedentary control (Sed) MI-exercise (Ex) MI-...
متن کاملDipyridamole stress and rest gated 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT: left ventricular function indices and myocardial perfusion findings
Introduction: We investigated the difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic volume(ESV) measured by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) in the post-dipyridamole stress and rest periods, and compared the results with the perfusion patterns found in the conventional non-gated tomograms. Methods: 297 consecutive patients were studie...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Myocardial Function in Children With Pulmonary Hypertension: Relation to Right Ventricular Performance and Hemodynamics.
BACKGROUND Through ventricular interdependence, pulmonary hypertension (PH) induces left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We hypothesized that LV strain/strain rate, surrogate measures of myocardial contractility, are reduced in pediatric PH and relate to invasive hemodynamics, right ventricular strain, and functional measures of PH. METHODS AND RESULTS At 2 institutions, echocardiography was pr...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: The study was taken up to evaluate the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in male patients. Method: A hospital based study was conducted at tertiary care centre in UP, India with 60 male healthy controls and 125 confirmed cases of AMI admitted to the coronary care unit who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. After a clinical examin...
