Right ventricular volumes and function in thalassemia major patients in the absence of myocardial iron overload

, 2010
Aim: We aimed to define reference ranges for right ventricular (RV) volumes, ejection fraction (EF) in thalassemia major patients (TM) without myocardial iron overload.Methods and results: RV volumes, EF and mass were measured in 80 TM patients who had ...

The Effects Of Right Ventricular Apical Pacing On Left Ventricular Function: Stimulation Of The Right Ventricular Apex: Should It Still Be The Gold Standard?

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2003
Current pacing practice is undergoing continuous and substantial changes. Initially pacing had an exclusively palliative role, since it was reserved for patients developing complete heart block or severe symptomatic bradycardia.

Longitudinal Displacement for Left Ventricular Function Assessment. [PDF]

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
Background: Quantitative evaluation of myocardial function traditionally relies on parameters such as ejection fraction and strain. Strain, reflecting the relative change in the length of a myocardial segment over the cardiac cycle, has been extensively ...

PECULIAR FEATURES IN STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL HEART VALUES IN PERSONS WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF BLOOD PRESSURE

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2002
113 healthy subjects with normal blood pressure and 26 patients with essential hypertension (BP 140-159/90-99 mm Hg) were inspected by echocardiography. All subjects were divided into 5 groups according to the blood pressure (BP) level.
