Assessment of left ventricular geometrical patterns and function among hypertensive patients at a tertiary hospital, Northern Tanzania

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background With hypertension, the cardiovascular system changes to adapt to the varying neuro-humoral and hemodynamic changes and this may lead to the development of different left ventricular geometric patterns, each carrying a different risk profile ...

Left ventricular aneurysm [PDF]

Thorax, 1969
Left ventricular aneurysm in African patients is most often luetic; the only other common left ventricular aneurysm in African patients is agnogenic and not a complication of coronary artery disease. The management of a left ventricular aneurysm by surgical excision with cardiorespiratory bypass in an African patient is described.

Gunshot-Related Pediatric Left Ventricular Apical Aneurysm

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
Penetrating injuries of the thorax and abdomen, such as gunshot and stabbing, are rare in children. We present the case of a pediatric patient with a history of remote gunshot injury presenting with a late aneurysm in the left ventricle.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2007
We present a patient who had an LV mass picked up by chance on transthoracic echocardiography. CT scan suggested this to be an LV aneurysm although it did not have appearances typical of this on echocardiography. MRI scan was performed and it showed this mass to be a thrombosed pseudoaneurysm.

Left ventricular cleft [PDF]

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012
A 29-year-old man was referred to our attention for a right bundle branch block occasionally found at a sport medical. The patient's history was unremarkable after a perinatal closure of a Botallo's ductus arteriosus. A cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) study was prescribed to better evaluate the echocardiographic finding of an interventricular septum ...

Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for determining left ventricular mass in young healthy men; data from the LARGE Heart study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Doubts remain over the use of the ECG in identifying those with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. This is especially so in young individuals, despite their high prevalence of ECG criteria for LV hypertrophy.

Left ventricular hemodynamic forces: gaining insight into left ventricular function [PDF]

Exploration of Cardiology
Analysis of intraventricular pressure gradients has gained interest due to the recent development of a new method of image analysis based on cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking or echocardiographic speckle tracking.

An effect of left ventricular hypertrophy on mild-to-moderate left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2016
Objectives: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is associated with a variety of medical conditions. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is one of the most common abnormalities that induce LVDD.

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause
