Successful intra-postoperative extracorporeal circulatory support with atrial communication for treatment of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery : a case report [PDF]
We describe a successful case of surgical treatment for anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) syndrome with severe left ventricular dysfunction.

Grading diastolic left ventricular function [PDF]
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

Objectives:. Changes in right ventricular size and function are frequently observed in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The majority of patients who receive venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergo chest CT and ...

The measurement of left ventricular function
We read with interest the recent article (Foster et al, 1987) which compared gated computed tomography (CT) with angiography for the measurement of left ventricular function. In their discussion, the authors were rather dismissive of radionuclide angiography as “a potentially accurate method for measuring ejection fraction”.

Autonomic regulation therapy to enhance myocardial function in heart failure patients: the ANTHEM-HFpEF study. [PDF]
BackgroundApproximately half of the patients presenting with new-onset heart failure (HF) have HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF).

Left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure in evaluating left ventricular function [PDF]
AbstractThere are several factors that could affect the left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure. These include heart rate, preload, afterload, pericardial or pleural pressure, diastolic properties of the left ventricle, and the left ventricular inotropic state.
