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,

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
, 2014 As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Right ventricular systolic function and cardiac resynchronization therapy
Cardiology Plus, 2019 Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and the impact of CRT on RV function in a beagle model of heart failure (HF).
