Exercise-Induced Post-Ischemic Left Ventricular Delayed Relaxation or Diastolic Stunning Is it a Reliable Marker in Detecting Coronary Artery Disease? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine whether post-ischemic left ventricular (LV) delayed relaxation could be detected by using strain imaging (SI) derived from 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with stable effort ...

Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support for acute right heart failure: A practical approach

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
This is an overview of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support options for acute right heart failure, illustrating key clinical scenarios, device types, and principles of tailored device selection based on haemodynamics and underlying pathology. Abstract Acute right heart failure (RHF) represents a critical entity with significant morbidity and ...

Taxonomy of segmental myocardial systolic dysfunction. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The terms used to describe different states of myocardial health and disease are poorly defined. Imprecision and inconsistency in nomenclature can lead to difficulty in interpreting and applying trial outcomes to clinical practice.

A paradigm shift in myocardial stunning

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2002
The study by Burnes et al. [(1)][1]in a recent issue of JACC was presented to show the close correlation of reconstructed and measured electrograms in and out of ventricular tachycardia, in a chronic (four-day-old) infarction model.

A Case of Myocardial Stunning in Hyperthyroidism

open access: yesKorean Circulation Journal, 2004
Although myocardial stunning occurs in coronary artery disease, it has rarely been reported with hyperthyroidism. A 72-year-old woman presented with general weakness, shortness of breath and febrile sensation of 10 days duration. The serum thyroid hormone level was elevated.

Pre‐admission beta‐blocker therapy and outcomes in cardiogenic shock: Insights from the Altshock‐2 Registry

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Among 668 with cardiogenic shock included in the multicentre prospective Altshock‐2 registry, 299 patients (44.8%) received pre‐admission beta‐blocker therapy. Previous beta‐blocker therapy influenced the early hemodynamic response to vasoactive drugs, but it was not associated with in‐hospital mortality.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 derived cardioprotection does not utilize a KATP-channel dependent pathway: mechanistic insights from human supply and demand ischemia studies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) protects against stunning and cumulative left ventricular dysfunction in humans. The mechanism remains uncertain but GLP-1 may act by opening mitochondrial K-ATP channels in a similar fashion to ...

Left ventricular decompression in paediatric veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support: Reviewing the evidence

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications. Evidence on optimal LV decompression strategies in paediatric patients remains limited.
