Right ventricular systolic function and cardiac resynchronization therapy

Cardiology Plus, 2019
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and the impact of CRT on RV function in a beagle model of heart failure (HF).

The effects of low‐dose anthracycline‐based chemotherapy on the levels of serum NT‐proBNP level and left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunctions: A prospective observational study

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background and Aims The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum N‐terminal (NT)‐pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and incidence of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients who underwent low‐dose

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 ...

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

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

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 pressure-volume relationship in a rat model of advanced aging-associated heart failure. [PDF]

, 2004
Aging is associated with profound changes in the structure and function of the heart. A fundamental understanding of these processes, using relevant animal models, is required for effective prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the ...

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.

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Application of end-systolic pressure-volume and pressure-wall thickness relations in conscious dogs [PDF]

, 1987
The usefulness of end-systolic measures of ventricular function was compared with that of standard contractility indexes in conscious dogs. End-systolic relations between left ventricular pressure and volume and between pressure and wall thickness were ...

Left ventricular functional, structural and energetic effects of normal aging: Comparison with hypertension.

PLoS ONE, 2017
ObjectivesBoth aging and hypertension are significant risk factors for heart failure in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine how aging, with and without hypertension, affects left ventricular function.MethodsCross-sectional study of ...
