Transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction in a quadriplegic patient

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2006
Recent developments in the management of spinal cord injury have reduced mortality while prolonging the life span of quadriplegic patients. It is important to remember that even a simple urinary tract infection or constipation can cause fatal outcomes in quadriplegic patients via autonomic dysreflexia.

Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure in left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2012
Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure (RVF) in left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This review presents an overview of the classification, pathophysiology, natural history, clinical features, prevention and treatment of this common clinical problem with a focus on the most recent ...

Echocardiography Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic Function, Systolic Dysfunction, and Ventricular Dyssynchrony

2018
The ejection fraction (EF) is the most widely used measure and popular method in evaluating left ventricular (LV) systolic function and is considered a critical prognostic factor in all types of heart diseases.

Heart failure: left ventricular systolic dysfunction

2016
Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a growing problem worldwide and poses an especially large public health burden. It represents a new epidemic of cardiovascular disease, affecting nearly 5.8 million people in the United States, and over 23 million worldwide. Nevertheless, in Europe, fears of an impending HF ‘epidemic’ could not be confirmed

Progressive left ventricular noncompaction and systolic dysfunction.

Experimental and clinical cardiology, 2012
Left ventricular noncompaction is a condition characterized by prominent ventricular trabeculations, often accompanied by systolic dysfunction. The present case involves an adult with a small ventricular septal defect, initially exhibiting mild systolic dysfunction and slightly prominent left ventricular trabeculations progressing over 13 years to ...

[Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and dysfunction].

Orvosi hetilap, 2005
The left ventricular systolic function--independently from the type of cardiac disease--determines the quality of life and the prognosis of the patients, so the examination of this parameter is indispensable. To measure it accurately is difficult, because the muscle fibers in the ventricular wall run partly circumferentially, partly longitudinally and ...
