CT of Cardiac Function

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2007
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can play a role in diagnosis of coronary artery disease and in the assessment of left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle global function, with initial good correlation results with standard modalities. With the latest scanners, regional LV contractility with both qualitative and quantitative assessment has ...

Cardiac function

2011
Assessment 202Treatment 218Cardiac function, if severely compromised, will cause general markers of ill health such as: • Pericardial effusion larger than physiological ( see Table 5.1, p.56).• Hydrops.• Reduced movement.The purpose of the assessments discussed here is to identify the stressed or failing fetal heart at an earlier stage and to provide ...

Biomechanics of Cardiac Function

Comprehensive Physiology, 2015
ABSTRACTThe heart pumps blood to maintain circulation and ensure the delivery of oxygenated blood to all the organs of the body. Mechanics play a critical role in governing and regulating heart function under both normal and pathological conditions.

Functional Cardiac CT Angiography

2017
Despite the anatomical assessment of the coronary artery tree being a cornerstone in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), it is well established that the pure morphological assessment obtained with cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) does not provide a comprehensive overview of patient risk due to the fact that the anatomic relevance of

Cardiac resynchronization therapy and cardiac sympathetic function

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2015
AbstractBackgroundCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapy for advanced congestive heart failure, improving both survival and hospitalization. The mechanism beneath these improvements still needs to be defined as about one‐third of the patients do not benefit from resynchronization.

Optogenetic Control of Cardiac Function

Science, 2010
A Steady Beat A regular heartbeat depends on steady function of the cardiac pacemaker. The early embryonic heart is neither as steady nor as organized as the mature heart. Arrenberg et al. (p. 971 ) used zebrafish engineered to express light-

Volatile Anesthetics and Cardiac Function

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
All volatile anesthetics have been shown to induce a dose-dependent decrease in myocardial contractility and cardiac loading conditions. These depressant effects decrease myocardial oxygen demand and may, therefore, have a beneficial role on the myocardial oxygen balance during myocardial ischemia.
