Diastolic dysfunction and computed tomography.

چکیده
c s w d Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is being increasingly recognized as a marker of risk both in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies. In fact, the syndrome of congestive heart failure, classically considered a hallmark of systolic dysfunction, can be completely dependent on diastolic dysfunction of the LV (1), and its long-term prognosis is similarly poor. In the natural history of coronary artery disease, abnormalities in diastolic filling may precede measur-

Brain Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Scan (SPECT) and Functional MRI in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with Cognitive Dysfunction: A Systematic Review
Objective(s): Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the manifestations that could present prior to the emergence of any other neuropsychiatric involvements in SLE. Cognitive dysfunction is a subtle condition occurring with ahigh frequency. However, there is no data on the correlation of cognitive...
متن کاملA case of right ventricular diastolic dysfunction due to a large hematoma posterior to the left ventricle
We report a case of right ventricular (RV) diastolic dysfunction due to a large hematoma posterior to the left ventricle (LV) after cardiac surgery. An 80-year-old woman underwent cardiac surgery. After surgery, her physical findings revealed right heart failure. Localized hematoma posterior to the pericardial space and the RV compression to the sternum were shown by computed tomography. Transt...
متن کاملA new twist on an old idea: a two‐dimensional speckle tracking assessment of cyclosporine as a therapeutic alternative for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
We recently reported that mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by increased mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), was present in a translational swine model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Cyclophilin D is a key component of the MPT pore, therefore, the purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a novel cyclosporine (CsA) dosing scheme as a therapeut...
متن کاملAbdominal Aortic Calcification is Associated with Diastolic Dysfunction, Mortality, and Nonfatal Cardiovascular Events in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
This study evaluated the significance of aortic calcification index (ACI), an estimate of abdominal aortic calcification by plain abdominal computed tomography (CT), in terms of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, mortality, and nonfatal cardiovascular (CV) events in chronic hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients who took both an abdominal CT and echocardiography were divided int...
متن کاملPulmonary artery to aorta ratio is associated with cardiac structure and functional changes in mild-to-moderate COPD
BACKGROUND The ratio of the diameter of the pulmonary artery (PA) to the diameter of the aorta (PA:A) on computed tomography (CT) imaging is associated with both COPD exacerbation and pulmonary hypertension. The mechanisms of PA enlargement in COPD are poorly understood. METHODS In this retrospective, single center study we evaluated pulmonary function, CT scans, right heart catheterizations,...
