Effect of propafenone on left ventricular ejection fraction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1984
The effects of orally administered propafenone on ejection fraction (EF) determined by radionuclide angiography were studied in 2 groups of patients receiving different dosing regimens. Fourteen group A patients had no clinical evidence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and were not receiving digoxin therapy. In this group a mean daily dosage of 879

Effect of flecainide on left ventricular ejection fraction

European Heart Journal, 1987
Antiarrhythmic agents may depress cardiac contractility and worsen heart failure. Flecainide is an effective antiarrhythmic drug, but when administered orally in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, its effect on LV function is unknown. To assess the effects of flecainide on cardiac function, LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured by ...

Cardiac imaging—Diminished resting left ventricular ejection fraction

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1983
A 55-year-old man with a history of rheumatic heart disease and aortic valve replacement was admitted with shortness of breath. Physical examination revealed signs of congestive heart failure. A chest x-ray showed cardiomegaly with vascular congestion.

Comparison of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Calculation Methods

Echocardiography, 1998
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been used for many years to assess left ventricular systolic function. Over time, patients may have LVEF measurements performed with the use of different imaging modalities. It is important for the clinician to appreciate how these different methods compare with each other.

Cine MR determination of left ventricular ejection fraction

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1987
Cine MR imaging provides tomographic images of the heart with both high spatial and high temporal resolution. As many as 32 images per cardiac cycle can be acquired with up to four separate anatomic slices and a total imaging time of 128 cardiac cycles.

Statins and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Following Doxorubicin Treatment

NEJM Evidence, 2022
Statins taken for cardiovascular indications by patients with breast cancer and lymphoma during doxorubicin treatment may attenuate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decline, but the effect of statins on LVEF among patients with no cardiovascular indications is unknown.A double-blind, placebo-controlled, 24-month randomized trial of 40 mg of ...

Development of a depressed left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and a normal ejection fraction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004
The progression from concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy to heart failure has not been well defined. Of 159 predominantly hypertensive African-American patients with LV hypertrophy and a normal ejection fraction (EF), 28 (18%) developed a reduced EF after a median follow-up of approximately 4 years.

Left Ventricular Geometry and Survival in Patients With Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2006
In hypertensive populations, left ventricular (LV) geometry, which is characterized by hypertrophy, predicts cardiovascular outcome. The left ventricle can also alter its shape by concentric remodeling (CR) in the absence of LV hypertrophy, a feature that is detected by echocardiography. This study assessed the prevalence and prognostic significance of

Dilated cardiomyopathy with re-worsening left ventricular ejection fraction

Heart and Vessels, 2018
Re-worsening left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is observed in some patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) despite initial improvements in LVEF. We analyzed cardiac outcomes and clinical variables associated with this re-worsening LVEF.

Does impedance cardiography reliably estimate left ventricular ejection fraction?

Journal of Clinical Monitoring, 1996
The objective of our study was to evaluate impedance cardiography (IMP) as a noninvasive method to determine the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS. A total of 24 patients, 8 men and 16 women, aged 45.0 +/- 12.9 years, participated in the study. They used cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs or suffered from cardiac failure.
