Revascularization in Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction [PDF]
The highest-risk patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction are those with ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤35%). The cornerstone of treatment is guideline-driven medical therapy

Pulseless Electrical Activity as the Initial Cardiac Arrest Rhythm: Importance of Preexisting Left Ventricular Function [PDF]
Background Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a common initial rhythm in cardiac arrest. A substantial number of PEA arrests are caused by coronary ischemia in the setting of acute coronary occlusion, but the underlying mechanism is not well ...

Effect of changes in contractility on the index of myocardial performance in the dysfunctional left ventricle [PDF]
Background The index of myocardial performance has prognostic power in patients with cardiomyopathy and following myocardial infarction. As the index of myocardial performance has been shown to be preload and afterload dependent, the effect of altering ...

From Left Ventricular Hypertrophy to Dysfunction and Failure.
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is growth in left ventricular mass caused by increased cardiomyocyte size. LVH can be a physiological adaptation to strenuous physical exercise, as in athletes, or it can be a pathological condition, which is either ...

Nitrates and Left Ventricular Dysfunction [PDF]
Use of beta-blockers and inhibitors of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) is established practice in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Clinical studies also suggest beneficial long-term effects of nitrates in CHF.

Percutaneous Revascularization for Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction, as compared with optimal medical ...

Left and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with COVID-19-associated myocardial injury
SARS-COV-2 infection can develop into a multi-organ disease. Although pathophysiological mechanisms of COVID-19-associated myocardial injury have been studied throughout the pandemic course in 2019, its morphological characterisation is still unclear ...
