Effect of changes in contractility on the index of myocardial performance in the dysfunctional left ventricle [PDF]

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
Background The index of myocardial performance has prognostic power in patients with cardiomyopathy and following myocardial infarction. As the index of myocardial performance has been shown to be preload and afterload dependent, the effect of altering ...

Pulseless Electrical Activity as the Initial Cardiac Arrest Rhythm: Importance of Preexisting Left Ventricular Function

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a common initial rhythm in cardiac arrest. A substantial number of PEA arrests are caused by coronary ischemia in the setting of acute coronary occlusion, but the underlying mechanism is not well ...

Right Ventricular Function, Peripheral Edema, and Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illness

Kidney International Reports, 2017
The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients with echocardiographic measurements
