Quantitative analysis of regional systolic function with left ventricular aneurysm.
Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) remains a poorly understood entity, often resulting in congestive failure that is not consistently improved by standard resection with linear closure. Although other surgical approaches have been proposed, current methods to assess their effect on left ventricular function are not adequate. The purpose of the present study was to quantitatively define regional sy...
متن کاملLeft and right ventricular function in acutely presenting Amyocarditis: sparing of the right ventricle
Background Myocarditis is diagnosed in up to 10% of patients presenting as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who have elevated serum troponin and normal coronary angiogram. The diagnosis may be established by demonstrating typical patterns of abnormal tissue characterization at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Most reports examine left ventricular (LV) involvement; detecting tissue abno...
متن کاملLEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
متن کاملThe influence of Asthma on Right Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function in Children according to Tissue Doppler Echocardiography
Introduction:Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory condition affecting the lower airways among children. Asthma may influence right ventricular (RV) function and patients may develop right ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale. The main objective of this study is to determine RV dysfunction in asymptomatic asthmatic children as detected by ti...
متن کاملContractile Behavior of the Left Ventricle in Diastolic Heart Failure With Emphasis on Regional Systolic Function
In diastolic heart failure, the left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) is normal and there is increased passive stiffness with impaired relaxation of the ventricle, resulting in disturbances in the pattern of filling and elevated diastolic pressure.1–3 The mechanism underlying such failure has been thought to be principally diastolic because LV diastolic function is universally abnormal a...
