Right ventricular dysfunction after major pulmonary resection

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994
Right ventricular performance was assessed by thermodilution in 20 patients at rest and during exercise before and after lobectomy or pneumonectomy. The right ventricular ejection fraction was significantly decreased on the first postoperative day (0.36 +/- 0.34), the second postoperative day (0.34 +/- 0.04), and the third postoperative week (0.37 ...

MECHANISMS OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR FAILURE AND BIVENTRICULAR MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT

Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2014
The paper presents a review of the problems of mechanical circulatory support with left ventricular bypass in total cardiac failure. Dysfunction of right ventricular defines the high mortality on left ventricular device.

Surgical embolectomy for acute massive pulmonary embolism: state of the art [PDF]

, 2018
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that can potentially lead to death caused by right ventricular (RV) failure and the consequent cardiogenic shock.

Preoperative right ventricular strain as an early predictor of perioperative cardiac failure in patients undergoing mitral surgery: An exploratory study

Health Science Reports
Objectives This study's primary purpose was to demonstrate the correlation of preoperative right ventricular free‐wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) and pre‐/postsurgical variation in strain (delta strain) with the clinical and echocardiographic diagnosis

Ribose supplementation alone or with elevated creatine does not preserve high energy nucleotides or cardiac function in the failing mouse heart [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Reduced levels of creatine and total adenine nucleotides (sum of ATP, ADP and AMP) are hallmarks of chronic heart failure and restoring these pools is predicted to be beneficial by maintaining the diseased heart in a more favourable energy ...

Large Right Ventricular Thrombus

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2014
Right ventricular thrombosis is a rare yet potentially fatal condition. It has been described in association with hypercoagulability states, autoimmune diseases and dilated cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography constitutes the election tool for diagnosis and

Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Acute Thermal Injury

Annals of Surgery, 1980
The elevated cardiac output (CO) and pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) observed in thermal injury offers a unique opportunity to study the effects of a combined pressure-flow load on the right ventricle in previously healthy persons. Potential responses include a diminished right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), increased right ventricular end ...

Right ventricular dysfunction following cold potassium cardioplegia

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1985
Right coronary artery stenoses limit cardioplegic delivery to the right ventricle and may contribute to postoperative right ventricular dysfunction. Right ventricular function was evaluated in 39 patients with right coronary artery stenoses following elective coronary bypass operations.

Tricuspid Annular Plane of Systolic Excursion for the Evaluation of Patients with Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Sepsis is a systemic infection that can rapidly progress into multi organ failure and shock if left untreated. Previous studies have demonstrated the utility of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the evaluation of patients with sepsis ...

Biomass Fuel Use and Cardiac Function in Nepali Women. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundExposure to household air pollution (HAP) from cooking with biomass fuel affects billions of people. We hypothesized that HAP from woodsmoke, compared to other household fuels, was associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, of which there
