Are obesity and left ventricular dysfunction entwined? [PDF]
European Journal of Echocardiography, 2010 This editorial refers to ‘Evaluation of left ventricular rotation in obese subjects by velocity vector imaging’ by Y. Deng et al. , on page 424 in this issue. Our understanding of left ventricular (LV) function and its description using echocardiographic techniques continues to evolve.

Pulmonary edema following transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015 We describe an incident of development of acute pulmonary edema after the device closure of a secundum atrial septal defect in a 52-year-old lady, which was treated with inotropes, diuretics and artificial ventilation.

ASB1 differential methylation in ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Relationship with left ventricular performance in end stage heart failure patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Aims: Ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) leads to impaired contraction and ventricular dysfunction causing high rates of morbidity and mortality. Epigenomics allows the identification of epigenetic signatures in human diseases. We analyse the differential epigenetic patterns of ASB gene family in ICM patients and relate these alterations to their ...

Exploring the Influence of Parametrized Pulsatility on Left Ventricular Washout under LVAD Support: A Computational Study Using Reduced-Order Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Medical therapy for patients with severe heart disease often relies on left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). It is an ongoing topic of research how complications like stagnation and thrombosis can be prevented by using artificial pulsatility. We study a parametric pulse profile and its effect on the left ventricular washout using a computational ...
