Echocardiographic measurement of ventricular function

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2006
We review new findings concerning ventricular function in patients in intensive care units with shock or unexplained respiratory distress syndrome analyzed using echocardiography.Bedside echocardiography is not only an imaging technique but should be considered as a hemodynamic method.

Burden of systolic and diastolic ventricular dysfunction in the community: appreciating the scope of the heart failure epidemic.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2003
CONTEXT Approximately half of patients with overt congestive heart failure (CHF) have diastolic dysfunction without reduced ejection fraction (EF). Yet, the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and its relation to systolic dysfunction and CHF in the ...

Ventricular function in the newborn lamb

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1965
The present study was initiated with the objective of evaluating in the newborn those aspects of ventricular mechanics which form the basis of the Frank-Starling relation, and which permit a determination of changes in the inotropic state of the heart.

Abnormal Ventricular Function

1988
Segmental ventricular dysfunction associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most common form of acute ventricular failure. Pump failure is the most common cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction who do not succumb to fatal arrhythmias.

Left ventricular function

2011
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 ...

Left ventricular diastolic function

Critical Care Medicine, 2007
Cardiovascular 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.

Left Ventricular Function

1994
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.

MRI of left ventricular function

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2007
Cardiac 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 ...
