The measurement of left ventricular function

The British Journal of Radiology, 1988
We read with interest the recent article (Foster et al, 1987) which compared gated computed tomography (CT) with angiography for the measurement of left ventricular function. In their discussion, the authors were rather dismissive of radionuclide angiography as “a potentially accurate method for measuring ejection fraction”.

Left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure in evaluating left ventricular function [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 1981
AbstractThere are several factors that could affect the left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure. These include heart rate, preload, afterload, pericardial or pleural pressure, diastolic properties of the left ventricle, and the left ventricular inotropic state.

Sevoflurane effects on left atrial performance: a transesophageal echocardiographic study on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

Ain Shams Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Patients presenting for coronary artery bypass grafting often have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. These patients are in need for a well contracting left atrium (LA) to generate the required cardiac output.
