متن کاملElectrocardiographic abnormalities in patients with heart failure
BACKGROUND The morbidity and mortality from heart failure (HF) differ between patients with reduced (< 50%) and with preserved ( >or= 50%) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on account of many factors, including abnormalities detected in the electrocardiogram (ECG). The aim of this study was to determine and compare the ECG abnormalities between HF patients with reduced and with preserve...
متن کاملMitral valve abnormalities in congestive heart failure
itral regurgitation (MR) of at least mild severity is present n up to 90% of patients with advanced congestive heart ailure (CHF) due to systolic dysfunction (1). It had long een assumed that MR results primarily from left ventriclar (LV) and mitral annular enlargement due to pathologic emodeling, with contributions as well from regional wall otion abnormalities and papillary muscle dysfunction...
متن کاملDiastolic Abnormalities in Congestive Heart Failure
The contribution of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction to the impairment in overall left ventricular performance in patients with systolic dysfunction is underappreciated. This article summarizes the available data on diastolic dysfunction in patients with congestive heart failure in which the predominant abnormality was thought to be left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The prevalence an...
متن کاملPropagated Repolarization in Heart Muscle
The effect of current flow on the transmembrane action potential of single fibers of ventricular muscle has been examined. Pulses of repolarizing current applied during the plateau of the action potential displace membrane potential much more than do pulses of depolarizing current. The application of sufficiently strong pulses of repolarizing current initiates sustained repolarization which per...
