BACKGROUND This study aimed to test the hypothesis that alteration of left ventricular (LV) torsional mechanics occurs in patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and is associated with right ventricular (RV) volume overload and changes in LV configuration. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-five TOF patients aged 19.0 ± 8.1 years and 27 age-matched healthy controls were studied. The LV and ...
Understanding the performance of the left ventricle (LV) requires not only examining the properties of the LV itself, but also investigating the modulating effects of the arterial system on left ventricular performance. The interaction of the LV with the arterial system, termed arterial-ventricular coupling (E(A)/E(LV)), is a central determinant of cardiovascular performance and cardiac energet...
The progression of hypertensive involvement toward heart failure includes myocardial fibrosis and changes of left ventricular (LV) geometry. In the presence of these abnormalities, diastolic abnormalities occur and are defined as LV diastolic dysfunction (DD). They include alterations of both relaxation and filling, precede alterations of chamber systolic function and can induce symptoms of hea...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) and left ventricular (LV) abnormalities are common indicators of a poor prognosis in dialysis patients. We determined the prevalence of hypertension, CVC, LV hypertrophy (LVH) and LV geometry in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. METHODS Eighty-seven patients (50 female; mean age 42 ± 13 years; mean dialysis duration 46 ± 24 months) on strict ...
BACKGROUND Apoptosis secondary to acute ischemia and chronic remodeling is implicated as a mediator of heart failure. This study was designed to assess the effect of in vivo viral gene transfer of the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 to block apoptosis and preserve ventricular geometry and function. METHODS AND RESULTS In a rabbit model of regional ischemia followed by reperfusion, an experimental...
We characterized the relationship between systolic ventricular function and left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in patients with heart failure (HF) and baseline asynchrony during ventricular stimulation. The role of preload in the systolic performance improvement that can be obtained in HF patients with LV stimulation is uncertain.We measured the maximum rate of increase of LV ...
Acute right ventricular pressure overload shifts the interventricular septum leftward and decreases systolic shortening of the left ventricular (LV) septal-lateral diameter. These changes should alter regional shortening in the LV minor axis. To test this hypothesis, LV minor axis circumferential segment lengths of the septum and anterior, lateral, and posterior walls were measured during pulmo...
BACKGROUND The correlates of left ventricular (LV) substrate in arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy are largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-two patients with arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy (47±14 years; 6 women) were included. RV and LV dysplasia were defined from multidetector computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Arrhythmias were characterize...
There is concern regarding the effects of microgravity exposure on cardiac function and loss of ventricular mass in astronauts. By Laplace’s law, the geometry of the ventricle is important in determining segmental wall stress and can induce alterations in myocardial mass. If microgravity exposure results in a variation in the ventricular radius of curvature, then we might also expect some cardi...
