ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY ASSESSMENT OF SYSTOLIC FUNCTION IN DIFFERENT LEFT vENTRICULAR GEOMETRIES
Congenital heart diseases (CHD) appear as a large variety of anomalies with different ventricular shapes, sizes and haemodynamics . Reliable assessment of ventricular function in children with complex cHd, such as univentricular heart or after a Fontan operation, is difficult, as the majority of echocardiographic (ECHO) parameters rely on geometric assumptions or haemodynamic factors . A number...
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 architecture of the left ventricular myocytes relative to left ventricular systolic function.
OBJECTIVE Mural thickening, combined with longitudinal and circumferential shortening, and apical along with basal twisting are critical components of the left ventricular systolic deformation that contribute to ventricular ejection. It is axiomatic that the spatial alignment of the actively contracting aggregates of myocytes must play a major role in the resulting ventricular deformation. The ...
متن کاملNormal Value of Left Ventricular End-Systolic Elastance in Infants and Children
Background: In certain conditions, there is a need for a specific and improved measure of cardiac performance. Routine methods for assessing left ventricular (LV) function are based on image-analysis or right heart monitoring which do not allow evaluation of ventriculo-arterial interaction. Chen et al presented a noninvasive method allowing measurement of end-systolic pressure–volume relation ...
متن کاملPrognostic implications of qualitative assessment of left ventricular function compared to simple routine quantitative echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE To compare the prognostic value of qualitative estimates of left ventricular function with that of routine simple quantitative indices used in echocardiography. DESIGN Retrospective follow up study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS The records of 2,964 patients who had undergone echocardiography and who could be traced on the family health services register were examined; 9...
