Persistent Recovery of Normal Left Ventricular Function and Dimension in Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy During Long‐Term Follow‐up: Does Real Healing Exist?

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015
Background An important number of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy have dramatically improved left ventricular function with optimal treatment; however, little is known about the evolution and long‐term outcome of this subgroup, which ...

How best to assess right ventricular function by echocardiography*

Cardiology in the Young, 2015
Right ventricular function is a crucial determinant of long-term outcomes of children with heart disease. Quantification of right ventricular systolic and diastolic performance by echocardiography is of paramount importance, given the prevalence of ...

Physiological basis in the assessment of myocardial mechanics using speckle-tracking echocardiography 2D. Part I [PDF]

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2016
In this paper, the authors attempt to concisely present the anatomical and pathophysiological bases as well as the principles for echocardiographic evaluation of mechanical aspects of cardiac function based on speckle tracking method. This technique uses

Effect of right ventricular pacing lead site on left ventricular function in patients with high-grade atrioventricular block: results of the Protect-Pace study.

European Heart Journal, 2015
AIM Chronic right ventricle (RV) apical (RVA) pacing is standard treatment for an atrioventricular (AV) block but may be deleterious to left ventricle (LV) systolic function.

Inference of ventricular activation properties from non-invasive electrocardiography [PDF]

, 2020
The realisation of precision cardiology requires novel techniques for the non-invasive characterisation of individual patients' cardiac function to inform therapeutic and diagnostic decision-making. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most widely used clinical tool for cardiac diagnosis.

Straining With the Ventricular Assist Device and Right Ventricular Function

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
We read with great interest the paper by Grant et al. ([1][1]) in which they provide an analysis to support the use of strain imaging as a unique echocardiographic measure to predict right ventricular (RV) failure in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement.

Ventricular interdependence in critically ill patients: from physiology to bedside

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
The review focuses on the mechanism of ventricular interdependence, a frequently encountered phenomena, especially in critically ill patients. It is explained by the anatomy of the heart, with two ventricles sharing a common wall, the septum, and nested ...

The Impact of Standard Ablation Strategies for Atrial Fibrillation on Cardiovascular Performance in a Four-chamber Heart Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent cardiac arrhythmias in the industrialized world and ablation therapy is the method of choice for many patients. However, ablation scars alter the electrophysiological activation and the mechanical behavior of the affected atria.
