Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1989
There is increasing interest in left ventricular diastolic function, which can be profoundly influenced by many disease states, such as hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. infiltrative cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart disease. In some of these conditions, altered diastolic filling of the left ventricle is the principal functional abnormality ...

Mitral Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure: A Single‐Center Experience and Insights Into Anatomical and Clinical Determinants of Procedural Complexity

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Advanced heart failure (HF) remains a clinical challenge, and mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has emerged as a potential bridging strategy. Aims To describe the clinical outcomes of M‐TEER in a single‐center cohort of patients with advanced HF and to identify anatomical and clinical features potentially associated ...

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

The effect of combined antihypertensive therapy on left ventricular diastolic function in resting and postexercise patients with arterial hypertension

Aktualʹnì Pitannâ Farmacevtičnoï ì Medičnoï Nauki ta Praktiki, 2015
The correction of left ventricular diastolic function abnormalities hasn’t been well investigated in arterial hypertension. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of two antihypertensive combinations (perindopril/amlodipine and losartan ...

Dynamic cardiomyoplasty acutely impairs left ventricular diastolic function

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1992
In patients with congestive heart failure, medical treatment has a high rate of mortality and morbidity, and transplantation is limited by the availability of donor hearts. Dynamic cardiomyoplasty is being investigated as surgical therapy to improve left ventricular function in these patients.

A Case of Venous Tissue Dissection During Transcatheter MitraClip Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The MitraClip system has been widely used to treat mitral regurgitation. The complications associated with MitraClip surgery typically include clip detachment and mitral valve injury. However, cases of venous tissue dissection during surgery are relatively rare.

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.

Biomass Fuel Use and Cardiac Function in Nepali Women. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundExposure to household air pollution (HAP) from cooking with biomass fuel affects billions of people. We hypothesized that HAP from woodsmoke, compared to other household fuels, was associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, of which there
