Relation of atrial natriuretic peptides to left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in heart failure [PDF]

, 2000
Background: Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides are correlated with atrial pressures, as are left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular filling abnormalities. Aims: This study investigated the relation of atrial natriuretic

Plasma Cardiac Troponin I Concentration and Cardiac Death in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The use of cardiac biomarkers to assist in the diagnosis of occult and symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats has been established. There is limited data describing their prognostic utility in cats with HCM.

Left atrial structural and mechanical remodelling in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Aims In patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), an association between left atrial (LA) dilatation and dysfunction is expected, but the degree of coexistence of the two abnormalities and their relative prognostic role is not ...

Left atrial eccentricity in chronic mitral regurgitation: relation to left atrial function [PDF]

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012
The aim of this study was to assess the changes in the left atrial (LA) shape and to identify the determinants of these changes in chronic mitral regurgitation (MR).We enrolled 125 consecutive patients (56 ± 16 years, 51% men) with chronic MR caused by myxomatous mitral valve disease in sinus rhythm and 45 control patients (54 ± 15 years, 55% men ...

Impact of an interatrial shunt device on survival and heart failure hospitalization in patients with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

, 2019
Aims: Impaired left ventricular diastolic function leading to elevated left atrial pressures, particularly during exertion, is a key driver of symptoms and outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Insertion of an interatrial

Dynamic changes of left ventricular performance and left atrial volume induced by the mueller maneuver in healthy young adults and implications for obstructive sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. [PDF]

, 2008
Using the Mueller maneuver (MM) to simulate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), our aim was to investigate acute changes in left-sided cardiac morphologic characteristics and function which might develop with apneas occurring during sleep.
