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.

Cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure: from the case to review of literature [PDF]

, 2016
In response to an increased workload due to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart may undergo a process of growth with increased muscle mass called cardiac hypertrophy. It is a particular mechanism of long term compensation used by the heart

Right ventricular assistance for experimental right ventricular dysfunction

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1986
Right ventricular dysfunction frequently occurs in patients undergoing correction of congenital cardiac defects, as well as in other clinical settings. The purpose of the present study was to surgically induce right ventricular dysfunction and then provide circulatory support with a right ventricular assist device.
