Pulseless Electrical Activity as the Initial Cardiac Arrest Rhythm: Importance of Preexisting Left Ventricular Function

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
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 ...

Diagnostic utility of Speckle tracking Echocardiography in detection of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal
Background: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a shorter life expectancy and a higher risk of cardiovascular death than the general population. Speckle tracking echocardiography may detect early myocardial dysfunction in RA patients. Aim of the

Left Ventricular Aneurysmectomy in Advanced Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Cardiology Clinics, 1995
Despite widespread application in clinical practice and extensive laboratory investigations, many basic issues regarding left ventricular aneurysmectomy remain to be resolved. Analysis of clinical data from the authors' three centers and application of powerful modern imaging techniques provide important information to resolve these issues.

Angina and left ventricular dysfunction [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1996
Angina with left ventricular dysfunction exhibits a wide range of different presentations. Approximately 45% of patients referred for coronary artery bypass surgery have some degree of left ventricular dysfunction and, given that at least a third of those suffering from angina have a history of myocardial infarction, the prevalence of left ventricular ...
