Case of Acute Graft Failure during Suspected Humoral Rejection with Preserved Ejection Fraction, but Severely Reduced Longitudinal Deformation Detected by 2D-Speckle Tracking

Case Reports in Transplantation, 2014
This case displays limited utility of left ventricular ejection fraction to detect acute graft failure due to microvascular vasculopathy and suspected humoral rejection.

Heart Failure With Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009
It is estimated that approximately 50% of the heart failure population has a normal left ventricular ejection fraction, a complex broadly referred to as heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFNEF). While these patients have been considered in epidemiologic studies and clinical trials to represent a single pool of patients ...

Correlation Between Infarct Size and Hemodynamic Variables in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction and Its Prognostic Implications

Indian Journal of Clinical Cardiology
Introduction A crucial prognostic marker for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction is infarct size. The present study was done to study the relationship between infarct size and invasive hemodynamics in patients with ST-elevation myocardial ...

Hypertensive heart disease: Benefit of carvedilol in hemodynamic, left ventricular remodeling, and survival

SAGE Open Medicine, 2019
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine if carvedilol improved structural and functional changes in the left ventricle and reduced mortality in patients with hypertensive heart disease.

Automation of gated tomographic left ventricular ejection fraction

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 1996
The feasibility of determining left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) from 99mTc-labeled sestamibi gated tomography (GSPECT) is well established. To improve precision of measurement, rules used by observers in processing tomograms were encoded for automation.LV centers were estimated from activity centroids of time-difference images exceeding 50%

Comparison of left ventricular ejection fraction values obtained using invasive contrast left ventriculography, two-dimensional echocardiography, and gated single-photon emission computed tomography

SAGE Open Medicine, 2016
Objectives: Left ventricular ejection fraction can be measured by a variety of invasive and non-invasive cardiac techniques. This study assesses the relation of three diagnostic modalities to each other in the measurement of left ventricular ejection ...
