Early detection of anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity in asymptomatic patients with normal left ventricular systolic function: autonomic versus echocardiographic variables.
OBJECTIVE To investigate left ventricular dysfunction in patients who had been treated with anthracycline based chemotherapy. METHODS Autonomic function was compared with left ventricular diastolic function in 20 asymptomatic women with normal systolic function (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 0.50) treated for breast cancer with high dose anthracycline based chemotherapy, and 20 ...

متن کاملLeft ventricular systolic dysfunction in rheumatoid disease.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to ascertain whether left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is more common among clinic patients with rheumatoid disease (RD) compared with the general population, and to assess the diagnostic utility of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). BACKGROUND Patients with RD are at increased risk of ischemic heart disease. However, there are few large echocardiographic s...
متن کاملReversible left ventricular dysfunction in suicidal hanging.
Acute and rapidly reversible left ventricular dysfunction may be triggered by various psychological and physical insults. This entity is now well known as stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubu cardiomyopathy. Suicidal hanging involves intense emotional outburst and the act of hanging is an extreme physical stress. We report a case of rapidly reversible left ventricular dysfunction following attemp...
متن کاملBariatric Surgery in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
Obesity, particularly severe obesity, produces a variety of alterations of cardiac performance and morphology that may lead to the development of heart failure. Excess adipose accumulation in association with increased lean body mass produces an increase in central blood volume. In patients with normotensive obesity, this predisposes to an increase in cardiac output which is facilitated by a de...
