Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

The Condition of the Coronary Arteries in Patients with Ischemic Mitral Insufficiency
Secondary (or functional) mitral regurgitation is the result of myocardial dysfunction due to ischemic injury with relatively normal cusps. In patients with ischemic mitral insufficiency, only surgical coronary artery bypass grafting can affect the ...

Echo-driven V-V optimization determines clinical improvement in non responders to cardiac resynchronization treatment [PDF]
Echocardiography plays an integral role in the detection of mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with congestive heart failure and in predicting beneficial response to cardiac resynchronization treatment.

Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Long-term Outcomes of Surgical Correction of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation
Objective: To evaluate long-term outcomes of mitral valve annuloplasty using an autologous pericardial strip (“soft support ring” type) and a rigid support ring in combination with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with ischemic mitral ...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Long-term outcome after mitral valve repair: a risk factor analysis [PDF]
Objective: Mitral valve repair is the gold standard to restore mitral valve function and is now known to have good long-term outcome. In order to help perioperative decision making, we analyzed our collective to find independent risk factors affecting ...

Effect of changes in contractility on the index of myocardial performance in the dysfunctional left ventricle [PDF]
Background The index of myocardial performance has prognostic power in patients with cardiomyopathy and following myocardial infarction. As the index of myocardial performance has been shown to be preload and afterload dependent, the effect of altering ...
