Primary left ventricular rehabilitation is effective in maintaining two-ventricle physiology in the borderline left heart [PDF]

, 2009
ObjectiveBorderline left heart disease is characterized by left heart obstructive lesions (coarctation, aortic and mitral stenoses, left ventricular hypoplasia) and endocardial fibroelastosis.

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

Left ventricular function: time-varying elastance and left ventricular aortic coupling

Critical Care, 2016
Many aspects of left ventricular function are explained by considering ventricular pressure–volume characteristics. Contractility is best measured by the slope, Emax, of the end-systolic pressure–volume relationship.

Assessment of Right Ventricular Function With CT and Echocardiography in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
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 ...

Prevalence and significance of alterations in cardiac structure and function in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

, 2011
<p><b>Background:</b> The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of abnormalities in cardiac structure and function present in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and to determine whether ...

The measurement of left ventricular function

The British Journal of Radiology, 1988
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”.

Persistent Recovery of Normal Left Ventricular Function and Dimension in Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy During Long‐Term Follow‐up: Does Real Healing Exist?

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015
Background An important number of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy have dramatically improved left ventricular function with optimal treatment; however, little is known about the evolution and long‐term outcome of this subgroup, which ...

Sevoflurane effects on left atrial performance: a transesophageal echocardiographic study on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

Ain Shams Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Patients presenting for coronary artery bypass grafting often have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. These patients are in need for a well contracting left atrium (LA) to generate the required cardiac output.

Left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure in evaluating left ventricular function [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 1981
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.
