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 ...

Hyperglycemia Has a Greater Impact on Left Ventricle Function in South Asians Than in Europeans [PDF]

, 2013
OBJECTIVE Diabetes is associated with left ventricular (LV) diastolic and systolic dysfunction. South Asians may be at particular risk of developing LV dysfunction owing to a high prevalence of diabetes.

Mitral annular plane systolic excursion for assessing left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock

BJA Open, 2023
Background: Using easy-to-determine bedside measurements, we developed an echocardiographic algorithm for predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and longitudinal strain (LVLS) in patients with septic shock.

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...

Prophylactic use of carvedilol to prevent ventricular dysfunction in patients with cancer treated with doxorubicin [PDF]

, 2018
Objective: Deterioration in ventricular function is often observed in patients treated with anthracyclines for cancer. There is a paucity of evidence on interventions that might provide cardio-protection.

Unrecognised ventricular dysfunction in COPD [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2011
While both chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) impose a substantial disease burden and share aetiological and epidemiological associations, they have largely been studied separately. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence and the prognostic implications of the coexistence of left ...

Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]

, 2017
Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...
