Is Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction a Risk Factor for Erectile Dysfunction?
Urology, 2010To 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, 1997Background 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, 2003Heart 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,

The patient with left ventricular systolic dysfunction now and in the future
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2016This review provides a concise overview of the current understanding of chronic heart failure, focusing on the landmark clinical trials that form the basis of clinical management of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Hemodialysisâinduced regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Hemodialysis International, 2016AbstractIntroduction Hemodialysis (HD) patients are under observably elevated cardiovascular mortality. Cardiac dysfunction is closely related to death caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In the general population, repetitive myocardial ischemia induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may progress to irreversible loss of contraction step by step,

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2003Coronary artery disease is the primary risk factor for left ventricular systolic dysfunction and the most common cause of heart failure. Heart failure is the prevailing diagnosis for hospital admissions in the United States for people over 65 years of age.

Evaluating left ventricular systolic dysfunction: Stress echocardiography
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2015Dyspnea is a common complaint in clinical practice. It has been shown to be a strong predictor of mortality in patients referred for stress testing to evaluate the cardiac reasons for symptoms. 1 Echocardiography and commonly stress echocardiography are high-yield initial tests in evaluation of patients with unexplained dyspnea.

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Identification by Motion Analysis
2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005This paper presents a new technique for identification of regional dysfunctions in the left ventricle from 2-D echocardiography. It uses a novel left ventricular border tracking algorithm based on Fuzzy inference system. In this paper we show how the regional dysfunction present in the left ventricle can be identified by tracking the movement of centre

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction
2007In the United States, there are 4.9 million people with heart failure and 400 000 new cases are reported annually [1]. A similar prevalence of heart failure exists in northern Europe, while the prevalence of heart disease, particularly coronary heart disease, is lower in southern Europe.

[Left ventricular systolic dysfunction in cardiomyopathies].
Archives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 1996Of the three physiopathological types of cardiomyopathy, dilated, hypertrophic and restrictive, it is the first which characteristically shows major left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The left ventricular volumes are increased, the ventricle becomes spherical and global ejection fraction decreases with diffuse or segmental wall motion abnormalities.
