Treatment of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Patients with abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) systolic or diastolic function may have no symptoms, especially in the early stages. These patients are not uncommon in the community, and the prevalence of this condition increases in the presence of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Patients with asymptomatic

Obesity and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

International Journal of Cardiology, 1995
To 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 diastolic dysfunction in hypertension

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
Abnormalities 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.

Severe left ventricular dysfunction in infants with ventricular preexcitation

Heart Rhythm, 2008
e 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 ...

Ventricular Arrhythmias and Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Familial Cardiomyopathy

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1983
ABSTRACT. 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

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction

Hospital Practice, 1992
The 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 ...

Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Chronic Constrictive Pericarditis

Chest, 1970
Left ventricular function was assessed in six patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis by means of biplane 35 mm cineangiography performed at 60 frames per second. A significant reduction below normal was noted for several values, including end-diastolic volume, stroke index, ejection fraction, total circumferential fiber shortening, and percent

Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction in the community

Current Cardiology Reports, 2000
The 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). Treatment

Calcium antagonists and left ventricular dysfunction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995
Calcium antagonists are used in the management of a variety of cardiovascular disorders. Ischemia leads to left ventricular dysfunction, which is the clinical entity on which the calcium antagonists are expected to have their effect as a result of their anti-ischemic action.
