Cardiotoxicity: Left Ventricular Dysfunction

2017
The left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), from asymptomatic reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) up to heart failure (HF), is probably the most studied and feared late effect of anticancer therapy because it is often unpredictable and because it has a poor prognosis.

Hanging-associated left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Resuscitation, 2015
Although hanging injury is infrequent, its clinical course is usually devastating. Hanging patients usually need cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, hanging-associated cardiovascular damage has not been fully established. The aim of this study was to evaluate echocardiographic findings in patients with hanging injury.We enrolled 25 patients ...

Obesity and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

International Journal of Cardiology, 1995
To assess the influence of obesity on left ventricular function, 20 obese women (mean body mass index (BMI) 33.8 +/- 3.1 kg/m2 and mean age 31.1 +/- 2.4 years) without evidence of heart disease were evaluated by echocardiography. Obese subjects had greater left ventricular mass index (103 +/- 22 g/m2, 76 +/- 18 g/m2; P < 0.0001) and augmented ...

Molecular Genetics of Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Current Molecular Medicine, 2001
The left ventricle (LV) plays a central role in the maintenance of health of children and adults due to its role as the major pump of the heart. In cases of LV dysfunction, a significant percentage of affected individuals develop signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF), leading to the need for therapeutic intervention.

Treatment of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Patients with abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) systolic or diastolic function may have no symptoms, especially in the early stages. These patients are not uncommon in the community, and the prevalence of this condition increases in the presence of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Patients with asymptomatic

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction

Hospital Practice, 1992
The hypertrophied heart generally preserves systolic function, but it pays a price in diastolic dysfunction. Coronary reserve is impaired and susceptibility to myocardial ischemia increased. The pathophysiology is managed by addressing causes of pressure overload, preventing tachycardia, or, of course, by specific strategies to reduce or eliminate ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

2018
Abstract In Chapter 7, the echocardiographic assessment of diastolic LV function is outlined. In the first part of the chapter, the normal physiology of diastole is summarized and the disease processes that lead to diastolic dysfunction are described.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertension

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
Abnormalities of left ventricular diastolic function in hypertension are multifactorial in origin. Of importance is the demonstration that abnormalities of left ventricular filling in hypertension may be accompanied by deleterious cardiovascular neurodynamic regulations.

Calcium antagonists and left ventricular dysfunction

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995
Calcium antagonists are used in the management of a variety of cardiovascular disorders. Ischemia leads to left ventricular dysfunction, which is the clinical entity on which the calcium antagonists are expected to have their effect as a result of their anti-ischemic action.
