Left Ventricular Response to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: Role of Left Ventricular Geometry

Respiration, 2008
<i>Background:</i> Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may be a useful adjunct in patients with congestive heart failure. <i>Objectives:</i> To evaluate the relationship between left ventricular geometry and hemodynamic response to CPAP.

Relations of Left Ventricular Geometry and Function to Prognosis in Hypertension

1997
The heart plays a central role in systemic hypertension, since it both generates the increased force needed to sustain elevated arterial blood pressure and suffers the morbid consequences thereof. The importance of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy as a cardinal manifestation of hypertensive target organ damage was first suspected based on the ability ...

Computer analysis of left ventricular dynamic geometry in man

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1978
Analysis of left ventricular performance in 20 normal patients was undertaken using biplane cineangiography and a semiautomatic computer image processing system. The analysis included evaluation of volumes, ejection fraction, regional shortening, patterns of ejection and filling and, when simultaneous left ventricular pressure was recorded stroke work,

Changes in left ventricular geometry during spontaneous breathing

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1987
The purpose of these experiments was to determine the effects of a spontaneously generated inspiration on the size and shape of the left ventricle (LV) in anesthetized supine dogs. We implanted markers in the LV to establish three perpendicular axes and recorded the motion of these markers using biplane cinefluoroscopy at 60 Hz. The primary changes in

Left ventricular geometry and arterial function in hypercholesterolemia.

Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD, 2001
To investigate the effect of hypercholesterolemia on total arterial compliance and left ventricular (LV) geometry in the absence of arterial hypertension and diabetes.One hundred and fifty-two normotensive, non-diabetic patients (109 men) aged 52 +/- 10 years with plasma cholesterol > 240 mg/100 mL, and 282 normotensive controls (154 men) aged 42 ...

A simple nomogram for determination of echocardiographic left ventricular geometry

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1998
Recent data have shown that left ventricular (LV) geometry provides additional information on the simple dichotomy of presence or absence of LV hypertrophy with regard to cardiovascular risk of hypertensive patients. A "new" class of concentric remodeling was created, identifying a rather large group of hypertensive patients who do have increased risk ...

Disparate Effects of Left Ventricular Geometry and Obesity on Mortality in Patients With Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2007
Left ventricular (LV) geometry predicts cardiovascular events. Although obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, studies have noted a paradox regarding obesity and prognosis. To our knowledge no studies have determined the impact of obesity on LV geometry as well as mortality in patients with preserved ejection fraction.

[Body composition and left ventricular geometry].

Archives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 2004
Left ventricular mass and cardiac output are, particularly in obesity, correlated with fat free body mass. We assessed the relationship between ventricular geometry and fat body mass in treated hypertensives with or without normalization of blood pressure We investigated 175 patients (age: 57 +/- 15 years, M/F: 111/64, Mean blood pressure (MBP): 111 +/-
