Carvedilol and nebivolol improve left ventricular systolic functions in patients with non-ischemic heart failure
OBJECTIVE It is unclear whether carvedilol and nebivolol produce different effects on short-term left ventricle (LV) systolic function in heart failure (HF). These drugs could improve systolic and diastolic functions of the LV. Thus, we aimed to compare their effects on LV systolic functions in patients with non-ischemic HF. METHODS This study included 61 symptomatic non-ischemic HF patients ...
متن کاملLevosimendan improves exercise performance in patients with advanced chronic heart failure
AIMS Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) provides parameters such as peak VO2 and ventilation/CO2 production (VE/VCO2) slope, which are strong prognostic predictors in patients with stable advanced chronic heart failure (ADHF). The study aim was to evaluate the effects of the inodilator levosimendan on CPET in patients with ADHF under stable clinical conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS We enroll...
متن کاملPrevalence of Heart Failure in Patients With Ischemic Stroke: A Descriptive Study
Background: Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) is the second cause of death and disability in the world. Heart failure can co-occur with CVA and increases the risk of death and disability in patients. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of heart failure in patients with ischemic stroke. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the information of patients with ischem...
متن کاملLeft atrial function in diastolic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Abnormalities in left ventricular (LV) structure and function occur in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF). The reasons for the transition from asymptomatic dysfunction to heart failure need better definition, including noninvasive measurements that can detect the transition. METHODS AND RESULTS In 64 patients undergoing right heart catheterization, simultaneous echocardiog...
متن کاملIncreased left atrial pressure in non-heart failure patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND The impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on the cardiovascular risk is still debated. We aimed to measure the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism and the left atrial (LA) pressure. METHODS The LA pressures and thyroid function were measured in consecutive patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, who did not have any known heart failure, structural heart di...
