Relationship between quantitated precordial movement and left ventricular function.

چکیده
The relationship between external records of precordial movement and ventricular function has been studied in 61 patients with various cardiac disorders by comparing the records of the apical impulse to the left ventricular volume. A significant correlation between external recordings and the volume data was found in patients with normal or increased ventricular volumes: Patients with a normal record in systole usually had normal end-diastolic and left ventricular stroke volumes; those with a hyperdynamic record in systole usually had an appropriate increase in stroke volume for increased end-diastolic volume; and those with sustained records usually had an increased end-diastolic volume without an appropriate increase in stroke volume, indicating poor myocardial function. Patients with a pressure-loaded left ventricle usually had a sustained record, but this appeared to be related to factors other than volume. These studies demonstrate that records of the apical impulse may provide useful information about left ventricular function.

Comparison of the vectorcardiogram with the electrocardiogram in the prediction of left ventricular size.
SUMMARY The vectorcardiogram has been suggested as an alternative to the electrocardiogram in the diagnosis of left ventricular enlargement. In 107 patients, precordial QRS voltage measurements were compared with vectorcardiographic spatial magnitude measurements in their relationship to angiocardiographically determined left ventricular mass and volume. Sensitivity, specificity, and linear cor...
متن کاملThe Relation between Left Ventricular Function and Serum Ferritin in Major Β-Thalassemia
Abstract Objective Cardiac dysfunction is a major cause of death in patients with beta thalassemia. In these patients, repeated blood transfusion, ineffective erythropoiesis and increased gastrointestinal iron absorption lead to iron overload in the body and this induced heart failure. Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured in major beta thalassemia (β-Th) patients to detect the rela...
متن کاملComparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies
BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...
