Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Chemotherapeutic Agents
Current Cardiology Reports, 2018We aim to summarize the effect of cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity on the development of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.We discuss commonly used cancer therapeutics that have the potential for both acute and delayed cardiotoxicity. LV dysfunction from cancer therapies may be found by routine cardiac imaging prior to clinical manifestations of ...

Molecular Genetics of Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Current Molecular Medicine, 2001The left ventricle (LV) plays a central role in the maintenance of health of children and adults due to its role as the major pump of the heart. In cases of LV dysfunction, a significant percentage of affected individuals develop signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF), leading to the need for therapeutic intervention.

Echocardiography and Reversible Left Ventricular Dysfunction
The American Journal of Medicine, 2006Transient apical ballooning is increasingly recognized in acutely ill, hospitalized patients. This article reviews clinical aspects of the syndrome, its recognition by echocardiography, and will review other disorders whose recognition is due primarily to the availability of echocardiography.Systematic review of the medical literature concerning the ...

Propylhexedrine-Induced Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1982Excerpt Amphetamine abuse has previously been implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital heart disease (1), necrotizing vasculitis (2), intracranial hemorrhage (3), pulmonary fibrosis, and cor pu...

Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction in the community
Current Cardiology Reports, 2000The syndrome of chronic heart failure (CHF) is usually attributable to left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), which is most commonly systolic in nature. Many patients who go on to develop heart failure pass through a phase in which they have significant systolic dysfunction but lack clinical symptoms and signs: so-called asymptomatic LVD (ALVD).

Obesity and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
International Journal of Cardiology, 1995To assess the influence of obesity on left ventricular function, 20 obese women (mean body mass index (BMI) 33.8 +/- 3.1 kg/m2 and mean age 31.1 +/- 2.4 years) without evidence of heart disease were evaluated by echocardiography. Obese subjects had greater left ventricular mass index (103 +/- 22 g/m2, 76 +/- 18 g/m2; P < 0.0001) and augmented ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction
Hospital Practice, 1992The hypertrophied heart generally preserves systolic function, but it pays a price in diastolic dysfunction. Coronary reserve is impaired and susceptibility to myocardial ischemia increased. The pathophysiology is managed by addressing causes of pressure overload, preventing tachycardia, or, of course, by specific strategies to reduce or eliminate ...

Severe left ventricular dysfunction in infants with ventricular preexcitation
Heart Rhythm, 2008e t ntroduction he role of dyssynchrony in the pathogenesis of heart failre has been the subject of numerous studies on cardiac esynchronization therapy. Detrimental cardiac remodeling as been described in the setting of isolated left bundle ranch block or its induction by right ventricular apical acing, further underpinning the impact of dyssynchrony ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994Abnormalities of left ventricular diastolic function in hypertension are multifactorial in origin. Of importance is the demonstration that abnormalities of left ventricular filling in hypertension may be accompanied by deleterious cardiovascular neurodynamic regulations.

Ventricular Arrhythmias and Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Familial Cardiomyopathy
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1983ABSTRACT. In familial cardiomyopathy (CM), different forms of myocardial abnormalities including asymmetric and symmetric hypertrophy and dilated left ventricles are presented, mostly showing varying hereditary penetrance. This study presents a family with CM including three major clinical manifestations: severe ventricular arrhythmias, repolarization
