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).

Myocardial Strain to Detect Subtle Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction [PDF]

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2016
Abstract In daily clinical practice, LV systolic function is routinely assessed with the use of two-dimensional echocardiography. Using biplane LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, LVEF is calculated. The introduction of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography has improved the accuracy of echocardiographic assessment of ...

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.

The effects of a supervised cardiac rehabilitation exercise programme on left ventricular function in patients with ischaemic heart disease (interim report) [PDF]

, 2006
Purpose. This study sought to determine the effects of a supervised cardiac rehabilitation exercise programme on left ventricular function in patients with ischaemic heart disease and any degree of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Subjects.

Cardiorespiratory requirements of the 6-min walk test in patients with left ventricular systolic disfunction and no major structural heart disease

, 2007
The six-minute walk test (6-MWT) is widely used to assess functional status in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The aims of the present study were: (1) to compare metabolic gas exchange during the 6-MWT in older patients with left ventricular ...

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)

Screening for Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction: Is Imaging a Solution?

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2010
To address the heart failure burden, our focus needs to shift to disease prevention. Strategies to initially screen for heart failure precursors such as asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction have been evaluated, including clinical scores, the 12-lead electrocardiogram, and natriuretic peptides. However, their specificity limits their broad

Natriuretic peptide vs. clinical information for diagnosis of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in primary care

BMC Family Practice, 2008
Background Screening of primary care patients at risk for left ventricular systolic dysfunction by a simple blood-test might reduce referral rates for echocardiography.

The brain in heart failure [PDF]

, 2004
After atrial fibrillation, heart failure is the second most frequent cardiac association of stroke. Deteriorating left ventricular systolic function appears to increase the risk of cardioembolic stroke in heart failure.
