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

Aldosterone induces left ventricular subclinical systolic dysfunction

Journal of Hypertension, 2018
Primary aldosteronism is associated with a higher incidence of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction than essential hypertension. However, systolic function via endocardial measurements is similar between patients with primary aldosteronism and essential hypertension. Speckle-tracking echocardiography is a sensitive tool which can

[Left ventricular systolic dysfunction in cardiomyopathies].

Archives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 1996
Of 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.

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 (

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction

2007
In 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 insufficiency: systolic versus diastolic dysfunction].

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1994
Left ventricular failure has been subdivided into different forms. Systolic pump failure (= systolic dysfunction) and diastolic filling failure (= diastolic dysfunction) are important entities in the overall framework of heart failure. The clinical patterns of both are presented in light of 2 case reports: systolic dysfunction involves the combination ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
