Statins and Left Ventricular Function

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2018
Background: Statins are a well-established class of drugs in both preventing coronary events and treating cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease, however their use in heart failure is still in debate. </P><P> Objectives: To establish whether statins&#39; pleiotropic actions in endothelium, inflammation, remodeling of the heart and ...

Effect of canagliflozin on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) greatly increases the risks of cardiovascular disease and heart failure. In particular, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction that develops from the early stages of T2DM is an important factor in the onset and ...

Differentiation between mild and severe myocarditis using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
The pathophysiology of myocarditis is associated with mild inflammation and may progress silently, or in severe cases such as fulminant myocarditis, may lead to sudden hemodynamic compromise.

Clinical Value of Complex Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Classification Based on Concentricity, Mass, and Volume Quantification

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Echocardiography is the most validated, non-invasive and used approach to assess left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Alternative methods, specifically magnetic resonance imaging, provide high cost and practical challenges in large scale clinical ...

Right ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens clinical outcomes in Japanese patients with heart failure

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2023
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing public health issue in super aging societies, such as Japan. Right HF is common in older patients. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between right ventricular diastolic function

Chronic Left Ventricular Pacing Preserves Left Ventricular Function in Children [PDF]

Pediatric Cardiology, 2008
Chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing can induce structural and functional cardiac deterioration. Because animal studies showed a benefit of left ventricular (LV) over RV pacing, this study compared the effects of chronic RV and LV pacing in children. Retrospectively, echocardiographic data were evaluated from 18 healthy children (control subjects) and

Toward standardization of echocardiography for the evaluation of left ventricular function in adult rodents: a position paper of the ESC Working Group on Myocardial Function.

Cardiovascular Research, 2020
Echocardiography is a reliable and reproducible method to assess non-invasively cardiac function in clinical and experimental research. Significant progress in the development of echocardiographic equipment and transducers has led to the successful ...

Associations of Empagliflozin With Left Ventricular Volumes, Mass, and Function in Patients With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Substudy of the Empire HF Randomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA cardiology, 2021
Importance Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve outcomes in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The association with cardiac remodeling has not been investigated.
