Heart Failure with Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015
Background: The prevalence and clinical outcomes of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction after acute myocardial infarction have not been well elucidated. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of heart failure with preserved left

Left ventricular mass and systolic dysfunction in essential hypertension [PDF]

Journal of Human Hypertension, 2002
A relation between left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and depressed midwall systolic function has been described in hypertensive subjects. However, a strong confounding factor in this relation is concentric geometry, which is both a powerful determinant of depressed midwall systolic function and a correlate of LV mass in hypertension.

Autoimmune myocarditis is not associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2019
AbstractBackgroundExperimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) is a common animal model for the investigation of the pathophysiology of myocarditis. Because of diverging findings from previous studies, we performed serial echocardiographic examinations throughout the course of the disease and investigated the dimensions of the murine heart and left ...

Contribution of serum FGF21 level to the identification of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac death

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2017
Aim The relationship between fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and cardiovascular disease has been well established in recent studies. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between FGF21 and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac ...

Implantation of Ventricular Assist Devices in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction [PDF]

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Abstract Aims The outcomes of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (HCM-LVSD) undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation remain unclear. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical impact of LVAD implantation on clinical outcomes,

Aldosterone Blockade in Patients With Systolic Left Ventricular Dysfunction [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
The patient, W.L., is a 62-year-old white man with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and an anterior Q-wave myocardial infarction 3 years ago. He has had 2 admissions for heart failure in the past 6 months. He was last discharged 2 months ago on aspirin 325 mg daily, simvastatin 40 mg daily, enalapril 10 mg BID, metoprolol XL 100 mg ...

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Asymptomatic Black Hypertensive Subjects [PDF]

American Journal of Hypertension, 2015
BACKGROUND Hypertension has been established as one of the commonest causes of heart failure especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We have previously observed a high prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in hypertensive heart failure patients in Nigeria despite a low prevalence of ischemic heart ...

Detection of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction From Electrocardiographic Images

Circulation, 2022
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is associated with a >8-fold increased risk of heart failure and a 2-fold risk of premature death. The use of ECG signals in screening for LV systolic dysfunction is limited by their availability to clinicians.

The use of NT-proBNP in clinical practice

South African Family Practice, 2004
Early detection of heart failure and the accurate diagnosis of heart failure remains a huge clinical challenge to family practitioners. ECGs and chest x-rays merely serve as baseline investigations and the diagnosis is eventually only confirmed by a two ...
