Surgical ventricular reconstruction for heart failure.
Congestive heart failure is one of the leading causes of death and complications in the developed world, and coronary artery disease is the major cause of heart failure. Efforts to improve ventricular function, symptoms, and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure have included neurohormonal inhibition with angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, beta-b...
متن کاملRIGHT VENTRICULAR FATTY INFILTRATION IN MITRAL STENOSIS, A RARE CAUSE OF SURGICAL FAILURE.
A 47 year-old female died after mitral valve replacement. Post-cardiopulmonary bypass right ventricle was not able to pump despite good left ventricular contractility. At microscopic examination, diffuse right ventricular fatty infiltration was found. We found no previous report of this pathology in patients with mitral stenosis
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملRight ventricular systolic function in hypertensive heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of cardiovascular admissions and hypertensive heart failure (HHF) is the most common cause of HF admissions in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is being increasingly recognized in HF and found to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in HF. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RV systoli...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension and right ventricular function in advanced heart failure.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequently encountered in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Both conditions aggravate prognosis and influence clinical decisions. Echocardiography is the screening tool of choice for pulmonary pressures and RV function, although invasive assessment of PH is necessary when advanced therapies are considered. Reversibi...
