Value of primary care electrocardiography for the prediction of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with suspected heart failure

, 2006
To compare electrocardiogram (ECG) with measurement of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (NTproBNP) as the General Practitioner's (GP) initial test for suspected heart failure patients from the community.

Right ventricular volumes and function in thalassemia major patients in the absence of myocardial iron overload [PDF]

, 2010
Aim: We aimed to define reference ranges for right ventricular (RV) volumes, ejection fraction (EF) in thalassemia major patients (TM) without myocardial iron overload.Methods and results: RV volumes, EF and mass were measured in 80 TM patients who had ...

Effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome on left ventricular function

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2012
Background: The link between OSAS, left ventricular dysfunction, and congestive heart failure is less known, although OSAS is frequent in both systolic and diastolic heart failure patients.

Cardiopulmonary transit time measured on dynamic rubidium cardiac PET/CT is a predictor for pulmonary hypertension

EJNMMI Research
Background Cardiopulmonary transit time (CPTT), the time for blood to circulate from the right to the left ventricle, can be assessed on dynamic Rubidium-82 ([82Rb]) cardiac PET/CT.

Septal-to-basal ventricular peak activation time determined by vectorcardiography as a potential new pre-screening parameter for preclinical dilated cardiomyopathy in Doberman Pinschers

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundEarly diagnosis of preclinical dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains challenging in primary veterinary medicine due to the need for echocardiography and 24-h Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) recording.

Left ventricular diastolic function and cardiotoxic chemotherapy

The Egyptian Heart Journal
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction falls when the myocardium has already lost a significant portion of its functional capacity. There are conflicting data on whether diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic ...

The Content of Vasodilation Factors in Blood Serum at Different Levels of Systolic- Diastolic Dysfunction of Left Ventricular with Stable Stenocardia Complicated by Heart Failure

, 2017
Introduction. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is still the most topical medical­and­social problem all around the world. It is the most common and life­threatening disease of the cardiovascular system, resulting in permanent disability, leads to permanent
