A variant form of acute reversible cardiomyopathy: a case report [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction Stress cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or left ventricular apical ballooning, has been linked to emotional or physical stress resulting in transient left ventricular dysfunction. It typically affects the mid and apical

New Imaging-Based Tools for the Assessment of Ventricular Function in Ischemic Heart Diseases

Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2017
Ischemic heart disease morbidity and mortality are closely related to global and regional left ventricular function. The evaluation of left ventricular global function is a relevant part in the evolution of ischemic heart disease because it plays a ...

Pattern and degree of left ventricular remodeling following a tailored surgical approach for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

, 2012
Background The role of a tailored surgical approach for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on regional ventricular remodelling remains unknown. The aims of this study were to evaluate the pattern, extent and functional impact of regional ventricular ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: identifying presence by left atrial function

Echo Research and Practice, 2018
Objective: The left atrium (LA) is exposed to left ventricular pressure during diastole. Applying the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) guidelines, this study aims to investigate whether left atrial ...

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 ...

Assessment Of Response To Heart Failure Therapy: Ventricular Volume Changes Versus Shape Changes [PDF]

, 2011
The prolate ellipsoid left ventricular geometry is crucial for its unique contraction and relaxation patterns. Perturbations in optimal cardiac function preceding overt heart failure ensue when this ellipsoid shape assumes a more spherical configuration.

Left ventricular systolic function in aortic stenosis [PDF]

, 2017
In aortic valve stenosis, concentric hypertrophy develops which is characterized by a reduced end-diastolic radius-to-wall thickness ratio (r/h) with an essentially normal cavity shape.

Left atrial reservoir strain as a predictor for left ventricular filling pressure in patients with sinus rhythm

Scientific Reports
We aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) as a predictor of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure measured via catheterization in patients with sinus rhythm.
