Equal stroke volumes, different costs: left ventricular 4D flow in normal and failing hearts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although total left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV) is equal in healthy subjects and heart failure patients with mild LV remodeling, the SV’s transventricular flow paths to ejection and diastolic energetics are different. These flow-specific markers of inefficiency of the failing heart are detectable prior to clinical decompensation, and might be predictors of progressive adverse cardiac remodeling.

Left ventricular kinetic energy as a marker of mechanical dyssynchrony in failing hearts with LBBB: a 4D flow CMR study
Background Left bundle branch block (LBBB) leads to dyssynchronous left ventricular (LV) contraction and relaxation which may contribute to LV dysfunction and ultimately heart failure. LBBB-related mechanical dyssynchrony often responds to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, this therapy is expensive and the number of non-responders remains significant. Reliable functional markers...
متن کاملApelin has in vivo inotropic effects on normal and failing hearts.
BACKGROUND Apelin has been shown ex vivo to be a potent cardiac inotrope. This study was undertaken to evaluate the in vivo effects of apelin on cardiac function in native and ischemic cardiomyopathic rat hearts using a novel combination of a perivascular flow probe and a conductance catheter. METHODS AND RESULTS Native rats (n =32) and rats in heart failure 6 weeks after left anterior descen...
متن کامل4D flow CMR detects progressive improvement in ventricular function following cardioversion of atrial fibrillation
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes impairment of cardiac hemodynamics and substantial cardiovascular morbidity. While AF is difficult to assess with cardiac gated CMR, successful electrical cardioversion of chronic AF is often followed by a transient period of atrial stunning where absence of mechanical atrial contraction, similar to that seen in AF, persists despite reinstitution of si...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Volume Determinations in Children
Right ventricular (RV) volumes were calculated from biplane cineangiocardiograms in 46 patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Validation of methodology was performed by comparison of known and calculated volumes of postmortem RV casts as well as by comparison of cineangiocardiographic RV and left ventricular (LV) stroke volumes of patients without shunts or valvular insufficien...
متن کاملHemodynamic effects of direct biventricular compression studied in isovolumic and ejecting isolated canine hearts.
BACKGROUND Biventricular direct cardiac compression (DCC) can potentially support the failing heart without the complications associated with a blood/device interface. The effect of uniform DCC on left and right ventricular performance was evaluated in 7 isolated canine heart preparations. METHODS AND RESULTS A computer-controlled afterload system either constrained the isolated heart to cont...
