Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Chemotherapeutic Agents

Current Cardiology Reports, 2018
We 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 ...

Carbamazepine-Associated Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 2000
The cardiovascular effects of carbamazepine are well-known but left ventricular dysfunction is rarely reported.We describe 2 cases of severe carbamazepine-associated left ventricular dysfunction during massive self intoxications in young patients without preexistent cardiac disease.

Revascularization in left ventricular dysfunction

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2019
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).Patients with significant CAD and LVD are a high-risk patient population. They make up a minority of the cases from the largest, prospective coronary revascularization trials.

Echocardiography and Reversible Left Ventricular Dysfunction

The American Journal of Medicine, 2006
Transient 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 ...

Cardiotoxicity: Left Ventricular Dysfunction

2017
The left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), from asymptomatic reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) up to heart failure (HF), is probably the most studied and feared late effect of anticancer therapy because it is often unpredictable and because it has a poor prognosis.

Hanging-associated left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Resuscitation, 2015
Although hanging injury is infrequent, its clinical course is usually devastating. Hanging patients usually need cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, hanging-associated cardiovascular damage has not been fully established. The aim of this study was to evaluate echocardiographic findings in patients with hanging injury.We enrolled 25 patients ...

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 ...

Molecular Genetics of Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Current Molecular Medicine, 2001
The 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.

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

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 ...
