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 Rheumatoid Disease

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006
Bhatia et al. ([1][1]) report an increased prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction among patients with rheumatoid disease in comparison to the general population based on a visual estimate of echocardiographic LV ejection fraction.

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).

Severity of Functional Mitral Regurgitation on Admission for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Predicts Long‐Term Risk of Rehospitalization and Death

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) has emerged as a therapeutic target in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The significance of FMR in acute decompensated heart failure remains obscure.

Diagnostic Value of High-Sensitivity Troponin T for Subclinical Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Patients with Sepsis

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2021
Background. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is common in sepsis. Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a useful emerging tool for evaluating the intrinsic left ventricular systolic function. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT)

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction [PDF]

Hypertension, 2010
Patients who enter into the most advanced phase of chronic kidney disease, that is, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), show an exceptionally high risk. Although the proportion of patients dying because of cardiovascular disease in this population does not differ from the corresponding proportion in the general population,1 the absolute risk for all-cause ...
