Quantification of Left Ventricular Systolic Function
2010The assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function is an essential part of all echocardiographic examinations and provides crucial and indispensable information for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of almost all cardiac conditions.

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic Function
2010Assessment of the left ventricular (LV) function is a very important step in the hemodynamic evaluation, not only for its contribution to diagnosis in heart and respiratory failure, but also for the guidance of therapeutic interventions.

Echocardiographic Quantification of Left Ventricular Systolic Function
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2015Assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function is the most common indication for performing an echocardiogram and, correspondingly, the detection and quantification of systolic dysfunction hold major implications for patient diagnosis and management.

Left ventricular systolic function
Abstract The evaluation of systolic left ventricular (LV) function is an important component of every transoesophageal echocardiographic examination. Prior to surgery, it helps to identify high-risk patients. In patients with haemodynamic instability, assessment of LV function guides fluid and inotropic therapy.openaire +1 more source
Left ventricular contributions to right ventricular systolic function during LVAD support
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996In patients with postcardiotomy low cardiac output syndromes, right ventricular (RV) failure develops in approximately 25% of patients receiving left ventricular (LV) assist device support. Depressed RV function have been attributed to abnormalities of the RV myocardium, excessive load imposed on the RV during systole or diastole, or obstruction to RV ...

Right ventricular long‐axis function in relation to left ventricular systolic function
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2004SummaryA decrease in left ventricular (LV) systolic function is accompanied by a decrease in maximal relaxation velocity in LV long‐axis direction, but is it also accompanied by a decrease in right ventricular (RV) long‐axis function? To study this 35 consecutive patients were examined by echocardiography.

3 Monitoring of left ventricular systolic function
Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1998Transoesophageal echocardiography has gained the role of a standard monitoring technique for both cardiac surgical patients and patients with increased cardiac risk under-going non-cardiac surgery. It offers unique information about left ventricular global and regional performance on a ‘beat-to-beat' basis without subjecting the patient to a major ...

Left Ventricular Function: Systolic and Diastolic Alterations
1994Assessment of the effect of coronary artery bypass surgery on left ventricular performance must consider a variety of factors. These include patient selection, extent of revascularization, intraoperative myocardial preservation techniques, perioperative infarction, graft patency, runoff of the peripheral vascular bed, ventricular loading conditions ...
