Overweight and obesity impair left ventricular systolic function as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018
Aims Obesity is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and heart failure but it is unclear to which extent it is related to left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Towards Phenotyping Characteristics and Mechanism of Conduction Delay in Patients With Nonischemic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: Insights From Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Considering that 30% to 40% of patients do not benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation, it is insufficient to evaluate patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction solely based on QRS duration and morphology ...

Effect of changes in contractility on the index of myocardial performance in the dysfunctional left ventricle

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
Background The index of myocardial performance has prognostic power in patients with cardiomyopathy and following myocardial infarction. As the index of myocardial performance has been shown to be preload and afterload dependent, the effect of altering ...

Heart rate changes during the Valsalva maneuver in patients with isolated aortic insufficiency

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
To determine the possible relationship between left ventricular dilatation and heart rate changes provoked by the Valsalva maneuver (Valsalva ratio), we studied 9 patients with isolated chronic aortic insufficiency. Left ventricular systolic function was

Cardiogenic Shock Induced by Coronary Steal Syndrome Through a Neovessel of Mediastinal Neuroendocrine Tumor

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
A woman was admitted for cardiogenic shock with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 15%. Coronary angiography showed a neovessel coursing superiorly toward a mediastinal mass.

Pre-revascularization coronary wedge pressure as marker of adverse long-term left ventricular remodelling in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Scientific Reports, 2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between coronary wedge pressure (CWP), measured as a marker of pre-procedural microvascular obstruction, and left ventricular remodelling in high-risk ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction ...

Dynamic Trajectories of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Heart Failure

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
Long-term trajectories of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in heart failure (HF) are incompletely characterized.This study sought to examine LVEF trajectories in HF with reduced LVEF (

The role of myocardial strain assessment using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with non-compacted left ventricular myocardium: determination of subclinical contractility disorder

Digital Diagnostics
BACKGROUND: Non-compacted left ventricular myocardium is a phenotypic variant of the myocardium structure with increased trabecularity and the formation of two distinct layers: compacted and non-compacted.
