Evaluation of right and left ventricular function using speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and their first degree relatives

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2012
Introduction and aim The identification of right ventricular abnormalities in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in early stages is still difficult.

Late deterioration of left ventricular function after right ventricular pacemaker implantation [PDF]

, 2015
Objectives: Right ventricular (RV) pacing induces a left bundle branch block pattern on ECG and may promote heart failure. Patients with dual chamber pacemakers (DCPs) who present with progressive reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ...

The Value of Right Ventricular Longitudinal Strain in the Evaluation of Adult Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: a New Tool for a Contemporary Challenge [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: The role of right ventricular longitudinal strain for assessing patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate its relation with other structural and functional parameters in these ...

Right Ventricular Function, Peripheral Edema, and Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illness

Kidney International Reports, 2017
The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients with echocardiographic measurements

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2002
To allow optimal patient management an ideal measure of right ventricular performance should give an accurate objective assessment of function, be practicable in everyday clinical use and provide accurate prognostic information. This review will provide the practising clinician with an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the available ...

Right Ventricular Plasticity and Functional Imaging [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation, 2012
Right ventricular (RV) function is a strong independent predictor of outcome in a number of distinct cardiopulmonary diseases. The RV has a remarkable ability to sustain damage and recover function which may be related to unique anatomic, physiologic, and genetic factors that differentiate it from the left ventricle. This capacity has been described in

Respiratory and haemodynamic changes during decremental open lung positive end-expiratory pressure titration in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome [PDF]

, 2009
INTRODUCTION: To investigate haemodynamic and respiratory changes during lung recruitment and decremental positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration for open lung ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) a ...

Beta-blockers, left and right ventricular function, and in-vivo calcium influx in muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Beta-blockers are used to treat acquired heart failure in adults, though their role in early muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy is unclear. We treated 2 different dystrophic mouse models which have an associated cardiomyopathy (mdx: model for Duchenne ...

Autonomic regulation therapy to enhance myocardial function in heart failure patients: the ANTHEM-HFpEF study. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundApproximately half of the patients presenting with new-onset heart failure (HF) have HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF).

Acute left ventricular dysfunction secondary to right ventricular septal pacing in a woman with initial preserved contractility: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Right ventricular apical pacing-related heart failure is reported in some patients after long-term pacing. The exact mechanism is not yet clear but may be related to left ventricular dyssynchrony induced by right ventricular apical pacing ...
