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 ...

Thirty years ago, the right ventricle (RV) was considered to be little more than a conduit for blood flow between the peripheral venous circulation and the pulmonary arterial tree. The physiologic role of the RV systole has been revisited, especially because of the observations of acute cor pulmonale and RV infarction where the RV failure may be ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

It is only relatively recently that acute right ventricular dysfunction has been recognised in critically ill patients and has been considered to be an important determinant of the overal effect of acute illnesses, especially respiratory failure, on the circulation.
