Diagnosis and assessment of dilated cardiomyopathy: a guideline protocol from the British Society of Echocardiography. [PDF]

, 2017
Heart failure (HF) is a debilitating and life-threatening condition, with 5-year survival rate lower than breast or prostate cancer. It is the leading cause of hospital admission in over 65s, and these admissions are projected to rise by more than 50 ...

A novel quantitative indicator of the left ventricular contraction based on volume changes of the left ventricular myocardial segments [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Ejection fraction (EF) is commonly measured by echocardiography, by dividing the volume ejected by the heart (stroke volume) by the volume of the filled heart (end-diastolic volume). Utilizing volume changes of left myocardial segments per a cardiac cycle, physical laws and mathematical equations specific echocardiographic data, this paper serves to ...

Cardiac recovery and outcome of neonates and infants presenting with severe aortic coarctation and depressed cardiac function

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2018
Objectives: Coarctation of the aorta represents 5–8% of all congenital heart diseases. Children with severe coarctation of the aorta may present with significant depression of myocardial function.

Minor segmental wall motion abnormalities detected in patients with Chagas' disease have adverse prognostic implications

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
Recent data from our laboratory have shown that patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas' disease can have impairment of left ventricular contractility, as evaluated by the slope of the left ventricle end-systolic pressure-dimension relationship ...

Management of hypotension in dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker overdose: The role of high‐dose insulin therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Amlodipine poisoning is a leading cause of cardiovascular medication‐related deaths, commonly managed with high‐dose insulin (HDI) therapy. However, HDI is a vasodilator that is counterproductive in managing vasoplegia. We aim to study HDI therapy in patients with hypotension following dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist (CCA) overdose ...

Influence of the Subclinical Hypothyroidism on the Left Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function (pilot study) [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: The clinically manifested hypothyroidism is associated with systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Studies investigating the left ventricular function in subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH) have shown controversial results. The aim of the study
