High-resolution Impedance Manometry Criteria in the Sitting Position Indicative of Incomplete Bolus Clearance
BACKGROUND/AIMS We used high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) to determine the length of breaks on the isobaric contour which would predict incomplete bolus clearance in patients in the sitting position. METHODS In total, 651 swallows in 71 patients with esophageal symptoms were studied using a solid-state HRIM system in the sitting position. Each swallow was classified as complete or in...
متن کاملB-type Natriuretic Peptide as an Index of Symptoms and Severity of Chronic Rheumatic Mitral Regurgitation
BACKGROUND The most common causes of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in developing countries are rheumatic heart disease. The plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is known to increase with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. AIM OF THE WORK To study BNP level as an index of symptoms and severity of chronic rheumatic MR. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and forty patients with rh...
متن کاملPlasma natriuretic peptide levels increase with symptoms and severity of mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVES This paper will describe associations between plasma natriuretic peptide levels and the severity and symptoms of mitral regurgitation (MR). BACKGROUND A biochemical test that assisted grading of the severity of MR and the interpretation of symptoms would be of clinical value. METHODS Forty-nine patients with isolated MR and left ventricular (LV) ejection fractions (EFs) of >55% u...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of severity of aortic regurgitation.
An echocardiographic study of left ventricular diameter was made in 27 patients with aortic regurgitation. Comparison was made with a group of 21 normal subjects and a group of 6 patients with large left ventricles without valvar regurgitation. Total stroke volume, total left ventricular output, and ejection fraction were derived by the method of cubing the left ventricular diameter to give app...
متن کاملVALVULAR HEART DISEASE How to measure severity of mitral regurgitation
Correspondence to: Paul A Grayburn, MD, Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute, 621 North Hall Street, Suite H030, Dallas, TX 75226, USA; [email protected] The recently revised American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines for valvular heart disease emphasise that surgery is now indicated for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), even in asymptomatic patients, provided tha...
