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 ...

Left ventricular systolic function in aortic stenosis [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1988
In aortic valve stenosis, concentric hypertrophy develops which is characterized by a reduced end-diastolic radius-to-wall thickness ratio (r/h) with an essentially normal cavity shape. As long as the product of (r/h) and LV systolic pressure remains constant, hypertrophy is appropriate.

Left Ventricular Diastolic and Systolic Functions in Patients with Hypothyroidism [PDF]

Medicina, 2020
Background and objectives: Long standing hypothyroidism may impair myocardial relaxation, but its effect on systolic myocardial function is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in patients with hypothyroidism. Materials and Methods: This study included 81 (age 42 ± 13 years,

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.

The architecture of the left ventricular myocytes relative to left ventricular systolic function [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2009
Mural thickening, combined with longitudinal and circumferential shortening, and apical along with basal twisting are critical components of the left ventricular systolic deformation that contribute to ventricular ejection. It is axiomatic that the spatial alignment of the actively contracting aggregates of myocytes must play a major role in the ...

Left ventricular structure and function in reproductive-aged female patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Современная ревматология, 2013
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the signs of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and hypertrophy are detectable just at the preclinical stage of myocardial damage.

The Accuracy of the Electrocardiogram in Identifying Chronic Heart Failure due to Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

مجلة المختار للعلوم, 2013
There is a common assumption that a normal electrocardiography rules out chronic heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). In this research work, an assessment of the value of electrocardiography in identifying patients with ...

Resolution of severe cardiomyopathy after catheter ablation of an anteroseptal accessory pathway: A case report

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2023
In patients with non‐sustained tachyarrhythmias, left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is uncommon. The role of catheter ablation (CA) in asymptomatic patients with tachyarrhythmia remains unclear.

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC METHODS FOR ASSESSING LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC FUNCTION

Polski Merkuriusz Lekarski, 2023
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the recommended primary method of assessing cardiac function. The measurement of LVEF determines the strategy for treatment of patients, as well as influences their prognosis. 3D echocardiography has higher accuracy and reproducibility than 2D echocardiography; hence it is currently recommended for volume and ...
