Expected small left heart size in the presence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: Fetal values and Z-scores for infants confirmed to have no heart disease postnatally

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
ObjectivesIn fetuses with left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), left heart structures may appear small, but usually normalize after birth in the absence of structural cardiac anomalies. To decrease the possibility of an erroneous diagnosis of

Left-sided heart disease and risk of death in patients with end-stage kidney disease receiving haemodialysis: an observational study

BMC Nephrology, 2020
Background Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in patients with end-stage kidney disease on haemodialysis. The potential clinical consequence of systematic echocardiographic assessment is however not clear.

Use of Frogs as a Model to Study the Etiology of HLHS

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
A frog is a classical model organism used to uncover processes and regulations of early vertebrate development, including heart development. Recently, we showed that a frog also represents a useful model to study a rare human congenital heart disease ...

Left ventricular heart failure and pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
In patients with left ventricular heart failure (HF), the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequent and have important impact on disease progression, morbidity, and mortality, and therefore warrant ...

Omics and Extreme Phenotyping Reveal Longitudinal Association Between Left Atrial Size and Pulmonary Vascular Resistance in Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Left heart disease is the most common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and is frequently accompanied by increases in pulmonary vascular resistance.

Left atrial volume index is superior to left atrial diameter index in relation to coronary heart disease in hypertension patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2020
Objective: Research hypothesis is that left atrial (LA) volume index is superior to LA diameter index for coronary heart disease and LA volume index is important to refine risk stratification.

Right Ventricular Function in Left Heart Disease [PDF]

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2018
Right ventricular (RV) function is an independent prognostic factor for short- and long-term outcomes in cardiac surgical patients. Patients with mitral valve (MV) disease are at increased risk of RV dysfunction before and after MV operations. Yet RV function is not part of criteria for decision making or risk stratification in this setting.

Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Ischemic Heart Disease

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2019
Ischemic heart disease is a growing cause of heart failure owing to the increasing prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. It is important to understand the concepts of myocardial stunning and hibernation so we as physicians can order ...

Left ventricular clefts - incidental finding or pathologic sign of Wilson's disease? [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Wilson’s disease is an inherited autosomal recessive multi-systemic disorder characterized by reduced excretion and consequently excessive accumulation of copper in different organs, such as the heart. Results: In a prospective controlled

Six-minute walk distance after coronary artery bypass grafting compared with medical therapy in ischaemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2018
Background: In patients with ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction, coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may decrease mortality, but it is not known whether CABG improves functional capacity.
