The Value of Mitral valve E point septal separation as an index of assessment of left ventricular systolic function

Advanced Medical Journal, 2022
Background and objectives:  There are several methods of assessment of left ventricular function utilizing M-mode echocardiography, the most popular one being geometrically derived ejection fraction, for which its validity is compromised in case of ...

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

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.

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
