Regression of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular diastolic function
Lancet, The, 1990The effect of antihypertensive therapy on regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular diastolic function was investigated in 25 hypertensive patients for up to 18 months after initiation of treatment. Left ventricular mass index was calculated by two-dimensional echocardiography and left ventricular diastolic function assessed by ...

Supra-Normal Left Ventricular Function
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2023Heart failure (HF) is often categorized by left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF). A new category of HF characterized by supra-normal LVEF (>65%), named HF with supra-normal ejection fraction (HFsnEF), has been recently proposed. Some studies reported that patients with supra-normal LVEF might have an increased risk of long-term major adverse ...

Left ventricular function in malnutrition
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1987Twenty-one dogs were chronically instrumented with ultrasonic left ventricular dimension transducers and micromanometers to elucidate the effects of acute protein-calorie malnutrition on cardiac function. Ten dogs received a regular diet for 3 wk, whereas 11 dogs received a protein-calorie-deficient diet designed to achieve a mean weight loss of 20-25%

Left Ventricular Aneurysmectomy in Patients with Poor Left Ventricular Function
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1992Physical performance and left ventricular (LV) function in the resting state were assessed in 22 patients with postinfarction anterior-apical left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and global ejection fraction less than or equal to 20% who subsequently underwent radical LVA resection.

MRI of left ventricular function
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2007Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is widely recognized as the most accurate noninvasive imaging modality for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function. By use of state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, electrocardiography (ECG)-gated cine images depicting LV function with high contrast and excellent spatial and ...

Assessment of Left-Ventricular Function
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1998There are three distinct phases of the cardiac cycle (contraction, active relaxation, and passive relaxation) which should be examined in order to perform a thorough assessment of global left-ventricular function. Accurate measurements of left-ventricular pressure and volume are necessary to assess these phases of the cardiac cycle.

Left ventricular diastolic function
Critical Care Medicine, 2007Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality resulting from congestive heart failure are major concerns for the critical care physician. Although heart failure is commonly associated with impaired systolic function, in up to one half of cases, heart failure occurs exclusively on the basis of an impairment of diastolic function.

Giornale italiano di cardiologia, 1994
TEE is widely used for intraoperative monitoring of global and regional left ventricular function during cardiac surgery. However, caution is necessary in assessing changes in left ventricular function before and after cardiopulmonary bypass because of the unequal loading conditions and the interference of catecholamine administration.

Left Ventricular Function in Patients with Centrifugal Left Ventricular Assist Device
ASAIO Transactions, 1989We used blood pool radionuclide angiography to study the left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) in 17 patients with a centrifugal assist device (AD) placed because of severe postoperative LV dysfunction. During maximal LVAD flow, the 12 patients who could be weaned had a higher LV-EF than the 5 who could not be weaned (18 +/- 12% vs. 9 +/- 2%, p =

Left Ventricular Function and Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Essential Hypertension
American Journal of Hypertension, 1993Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an adaptive response to the increased load imposed on the heart in patients with hypertension, it ultimately is itself a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The influence of LVH on left ventricular function and on the coronary circulation, and the occurrence of serious ventricular arrhythmias are
