Left ventricular function in scleroderma [PDF]

Rheumatology, 1996
Scleroderma affects the left heart directly and indirectly via the effects of systemic hypertension. Using transthoracic echocardiography, we evaluated 35 patients with scleroderma and compared them with matched control subjects. Compared with controls, there were no differences between left ventricular dimensions, wall thickness, calculated mass or ...

Grading Diastolic Left Ventricular Function [PDF]

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2011
This editorial refers to ‘Diagnosis of heart failure with pre-served ejection fraction: which parameters and diagnosticstrategies are more valuable?’, by X.-X. Shuai et al.,published in this issue on page 737–745.The diagnosis of heart failure (HF) is based on symptoms and signsof HF, as well as evidence for a functional or structural abnormalityof the

Chronic Left Ventricular Pacing Preserves Left Ventricular Function in Children [PDF]

Pediatric Cardiology, 2008
Chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing can induce structural and functional cardiac deterioration. Because animal studies showed a benefit of left ventricular (LV) over RV pacing, this study compared the effects of chronic RV and LV pacing in children. Retrospectively, echocardiographic data were evaluated from 18 healthy children (control subjects) and

Left Ventricular Dimensions and Diastolic Function Are Different in Throwers, Endurance Athletes, and Sprinters From the World Masters Athletics Championships

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
There is controversy whether a lifetime of heavy resistance training, providing pressure-overload, is harmful for left ventricular function. We compared left ventricular dimensions and function in elite Masters athletes involved in throwing events ...

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Impact of overweight on left ventricular function in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2017
Background Coexistence of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal myocardial systolic dysfunction with LV diastolic dysfunction could lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
