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.

Prognosis of Right Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Chronic respiratory failure and heart involvement may occur in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of the right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Prevalence of cardiac dysfunction and longitudinal changes in cardiac function after breast cancer treatment with chemotherapy with/without radiation therapy compared with controls

Breast
Introduction: Breast cancer survivors are known to have a higher prevalence of mild systolic cardiac dysfunction compared to the general population, due to the effects of chemotherapy with/without radiation therapy.

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.

Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.
