Left ventricular markers of global dyssynchrony predict limited exercise capacity in heart failure, but not in patients with preserved ejection fraction

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2012
Background The aim of this study was to prospectively examine echocardiographic parameters that correlate and predict functional capacity assessed by 6 min walk test (6-MWT) in patients with heart failure (HF), irrespective of ejection fraction (EF ...

Left ventricular diastolic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and obesity

Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2017
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent episodes of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airways during sleep and results in sleep fragmentation, night hypoxemia, and daytime sleepiness.

Functional infarct expansion, left ventricular dilation and isovolumic relaxation time after coronary occlusion: A two-dimensional echocardiographic study

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1988
Left ventricular dilation and infarct expansion after acute myocardial infarction are associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to determine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition could reverse left ventricular dilation and improve the diastolic properties of the left ventricle very early after ...
