Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular systolic function [PDF]

Journal of Echocardiography, 2018
Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most validated and commonly used echocardiographic measure of systolic function. LVEF has a unique position in cardiology having severed as selection criteria for therapeutic trials that constitute the evidence base of today's treatment recommendations.

A Novel Approach to Standard Techniques in the Assessment and Quantification of the Interventricular Systolic Relationship [PDF]

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2011
Background Blood flow between the right and left ventricles is subject to the continuity equation and systolic ventricular interdependence. Quantification of this relationship might aid in understanding inter-ventricular function.

Current clinical applications of spectral tissue Doppler echocardiography (E/E' ratio) as a noninvasive surrogate for left ventricular diastolic pressures in the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved left ventricular systolic function [PDF]

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2007
Congestive heart failure with preserved left ventricular systolic function has emerged as a growing epidemic medical syndrome in developed countries, which is characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates.

Left ventricular global systolic function assessment by echocardiography

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2016
The left ventricle, with its thickened myocardial walls, unlike the right ventricle has no measurable geometric shape. It has a conical apex and its function quantification, needs intensive, 2D, 3D and M mode transesophageal echocardiography, which is ...

Prognostic impacts of left ventricular strain in hemodialytic patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Left ventricular dysfunction is a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. The prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) among those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ...

Improvement of left ventricular systolic function after intervention on right ventricular hemodynamics [PDF]

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
Background: The importance of right–left ventricular interactions is increasingly recognized in patients with congenital heart disease. Interventions to improve right ventricular volume/pressure overloading may result in improvement of left ventricular ...

Left ventricular systolic function in dogs with pulmonic stenosis [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is the most common congenital heart disease in dogs. This condition causes right ventricle (RV) overload and disrupts overall systolic function.

Left Atrial Relaxation and Left Ventricular Systolic Function Determine Left Atrial Reservoir Function [PDF]

Circulation, 1999
Background —Determinants of left atrial (LA) reservoir function and its influence on left ventricular (LV) function have not been quantified. Methods and Results —In an open-pericardium, paced (70 and 90 bpm) pig model of LV regional ischemia (left anterior descending coronary ...

Intracardiac Thrombus in Community-Acquired Klebsiella pneumonia – An Unprecedented Complication

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022
Left ventricular thrombi commonly occur in the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Their occurrence in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function is extremely rare. Here we present a case of a diabetic lady with community
