Left Ventricular Aneurysmectomy in Advanced Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Despite widespread application in clinical practice and extensive laboratory investigations, many basic issues regarding left ventricular aneurysmectomy remain to be resolved. Analysis of clinical data from the authors' three centers and application of powerful modern imaging techniques provide important information to resolve these issues.

Angina and left ventricular dysfunction [PDF]
Angina with left ventricular dysfunction exhibits a wide range of different presentations. Approximately 45% of patients referred for coronary artery bypass surgery have some degree of left ventricular dysfunction and, given that at least a third of those suffering from angina have a history of myocardial infarction, the prevalence of left ventricular ...

Left ventricular dysfunction in the haemodialysis population [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease in the haemodialysis population continues to contribute to mortality and morbidity. Disorders of left ventricular geometry and function are highly prevalent and lead to increased mortality in this highly vulnerable population. Left ventricular dysfunction (LVDys), often as a result of hypertension, ischaemic cardiac disease or ...

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...
