Left ventricular function in malnutrition
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1987Twenty-one dogs were chronically instrumented with ultrasonic left ventricular dimension transducers and micromanometers to elucidate the effects of acute protein-calorie malnutrition on cardiac function. Ten dogs received a regular diet for 3 wk, whereas 11 dogs received a protein-calorie-deficient diet designed to achieve a mean weight loss of 20-25%

Statins and Left Ventricular Function
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2018Background: 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' pleiotropic actions in endothelium, inflammation, remodeling of the heart and ...

Radionuclide monitoring of left ventricular function
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2001Several devices have been evaluated and validated for continuous monitoring of LV function. The diagnostic and prognostic roles of these techniques appear to be predominant in patients with CAD. Silent myocardial ischemia may be widely evaluated by these systems, which allow the clinician to predict ischemic cardiac events, perform risk stratification,

Left Ventricular Aneurysmectomy in Patients with Poor Left Ventricular Function
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1992Physical performance and left ventricular (LV) function in the resting state were assessed in 22 patients with postinfarction anterior-apical left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and global ejection fraction less than or equal to 20% who subsequently underwent radical LVA resection.

MRI of left ventricular function
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2007Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is widely recognized as the most accurate noninvasive imaging modality for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function. By use of state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, electrocardiography (ECG)-gated cine images depicting LV function with high contrast and excellent spatial and ...

Assessment of Left-Ventricular Function
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1998There are three distinct phases of the cardiac cycle (contraction, active relaxation, and passive relaxation) which should be examined in order to perform a thorough assessment of global left-ventricular function. Accurate measurements of left-ventricular pressure and volume are necessary to assess these phases of the cardiac cycle.

Left ventricular diastolic function
Critical Care Medicine, 2007Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality resulting from congestive heart failure are major concerns for the critical care physician. Although heart failure is commonly associated with impaired systolic function, in up to one half of cases, heart failure occurs exclusively on the basis of an impairment of diastolic function.

Global left ventricular (LV) function is an important prognostic parameter and is useful for therapeutic decision-making. Since its introduction, twodimensional (2D) echocardiography has played an important role in the quantitation of LV function. However, the limitations of 2D echocardiography for the accurate determination of cardiac volumes and ...

TEE is widely used for intraoperative monitoring of global and regional left ventricular function during cardiac surgery. However, caution is necessary in assessing changes in left ventricular function before and after cardiopulmonary bypass because of the unequal loading conditions and the interference of catecholamine administration.

Many of the substitute endpoints used in clinical research on heart disease are parameters obtained using imaging techniques. The most frequently used endpoint is left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). At rest and at peak aerobic exercise, left ventricular contractility measurements can be obtained in a clinical setting by noninvasive methods [1 ...
