Radionuclide evaluation of postextrasystolic potentiation of left ventricular function induced by atrial and ventricular stimulation.
Postextrasystolic potentiation of left ventricular function induced by ventricular and atrial stimulation was compared in 10 patients using radionuclide ventriculography. After insertion of pacing wires, a preliminary radionuclide ventriculogram was obtained and then ventricular and atrial trigeminy was induced in random order, each with identical R-R coupling intervals, each for 6 to 10 minute...
متن کاملNormal Value of Left Ventricular End-Systolic Elastance in Infants and Children
Background: In certain conditions, there is a need for a specific and improved measure of cardiac performance. Routine methods for assessing left ventricular (LV) function are based on image-analysis or right heart monitoring which do not allow evaluation of ventriculo-arterial interaction. Chen et al presented a noninvasive method allowing measurement of end-systolic pressure–volume relation ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
متن کاملNon-invasive measurement of left ventricular function in coronary artery disease. Comparison of first pass radionuclide ventriculography, M-mode echocardiography, and systolic time intervals.
Fifty consecutive patients having had cardiac catheterisation for coronary artery disease also underwent testing by three non-invasive methods commonly employed for assessment of left ventricular function. These included the first pass radionuclide ejection fraction, fractional shortening of the M-mode echocardiographic left ventricular internal dimension, and pre-ejection period/left ventricul...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of myocardial infarction: comparison of a rat model in two strains
The purpose of this study was to induce myocardial infarction (MI) and compare the echocardiographic parameters and mortality ratio of Lewis inbred and Wistar outbred strain before and after the procedure to help choose the best one for MI studies. In this study MI was induced in 46 Lewis and 34 Wistar by occlusion of left anterior descending artery (LAD). Doppler, two-dimensional (2-D) and 2-D...
