Biochemical detection of left-ventricular systolic dysfunction

Lancet, The, 1998
In previous studies on the use of natriuretic peptides to detect left-ventricular systolic dysfunction, a higher rate of cardiac disorders in the control groups than in the study groups could have led to bias. We investigated the effectiveness of plasma N-terminal atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentrations to

Hanging-associated left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Resuscitation, 2015
Although hanging injury is infrequent, its clinical course is usually devastating. Hanging patients usually need cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, hanging-associated cardiovascular damage has not been fully established. The aim of this study was to evaluate echocardiographic findings in patients with hanging injury.We enrolled 25 patients ...

Is Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction a Risk Factor for Erectile Dysfunction?

Urology, 2010
To analyze erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD).A consecutive series of men aged 50-65 years undergoing an echocardiography (EC) at the Danube hospital in Vienna was analyzed. All patients completed the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). LVSD was defined by EC as an ejection fraction (

Postresuscitation Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Dysfunction

Circulation, 1997
Background Global left ventricular dysfunction after successful resuscitation is well documented and appears to be a major contributing factor in limiting long-term survival after initial recovery from out-of-hospital sudden cardiac death.

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction and Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2003
Heart failure is a devastating chronic and progressive cardiac disorder affecting millions of Americans annually. Identifying the cause and initiating treatment early is the key to attempting to slow the progression of the condition. Recommended therapy is treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, diuretics, digoxin, beta blockers,
