Burden of systolic and diastolic ventricular dysfunction in the community: appreciating the scope of the heart failure epidemic.
CONTEXT Approximately half of patients with overt congestive heart failure (CHF) have diastolic dysfunction without reduced ejection fraction (EF). Yet, the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and its relation to systolic dysfunction and CHF in the community remain undefined. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of CHF and preclinical diastolic dysfunction and systolic dysfunction in the co...
متن کاملStrong cardiovascular prognostic implication of quantitative left atrial contractile function assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with chronic hypertension
BACKGROUND Progressive left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction due to hypertension (HTN) alters left atrial (LA) contractile function in a predictable manner. While increased LA size is a marker of LV diastolic dysfunction and has been shown to be predictive of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, the prognostic significance of altered LA contractile function is unknown. METHODS A consecutive...
متن کاملPrevalence of Heart Failure in the Cases of Beta-thalassemia Major; Two Years Follow-Up
Inroduction: Heart failure (HF) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the cases of Beta-thalassemia major. The purpose of this study was to estimate HF prevalence in these patients and to assess the survivability of those who were treated with intensive chelating therapy. Design and methods: This cross sectional study included 72 beta-thalassemia major cases, the mean age at t...
متن کاملEvolution and outcome of diastolic dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is highly prevalent and associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but its natural history remains poorly defined. OBJECTIVE This cohort study sought to characterise the influence of clinical features, medical therapy and echocardiographic parameters on the progression of DD. METHODS We identified 926 consecutive patients (aged 62 (14) years, 22...
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...
