Left ventricular systolic dysfunction during acute pulmonary embolism

Thrombosis Research, 2023
Heart failure increases the risk of death in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The role of the left ventricle (LV) in acute PE is not well defined.To identify the prevalence of LV systolic dysfunction, morphology, and prognosis of the LV during an acute PE.Retrospective study (26-months) of patients diagnosed with an acute PE presenting with LV systolic ...

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 ...

Evaluating left ventricular systolic dysfunction: Stress echocardiography

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2015
Dyspnea 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.

Hemodialysis‐induced regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Hemodialysis International, 2016
AbstractIntroduction 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,

Biochemical detection of left-ventricular systolic dysfunction

The Lancet, 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

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,

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2003
Coronary 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.

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 Identification by Motion Analysis

2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005
This 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
