Afterload excess and myocardial performance
Background Systolic circumferential and longitudinal strain(CSt%, LSt %) are widely used to assess myocardial performance, but their afterload dependence has not been well characterized. Using geometric estimates of left ventricular (LV) circumferential and meridional wall stress(CWS, MWS) as indices of afterload at the myocardial level, we compared LV CSt and LSt to estimates of CWS and MWS in...
متن کاملMyocardial ischemic memory imaging with molecular echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome in patients presenting with chest discomfort is a challenge. Because acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion is associated with endothelial upregulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules, which persist even after ischemia has resolved, we hypothesized that microbubbles designed to adhere to endothelial selectins would permit echocardiographic identifica...
متن کاملEffect of afterload reduction on myocardial energetics.
Consideration of muscle energetics suggests that the ventricle has a very definite optimum range of operating wall tensions, and that clinical advantage can be gained by maintaining the tension within this range.
متن کاملMyocardial contractility and afterload in aortic stenosis
Background In aortic stenosis(AS) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction(LV EF), circumferential and longitudinal systolic strains(CSt, LSt) are reduced but the underlying mechanisms are uncertain. Conventional indices of afterload(A) per unit of myocardium are suboptimal for strain analysis and based on inaccurate assumptions about myocardial properties, while conventional contractilit...
متن کاملAfterload quantitation for evaluation of myocardial strain
Background Systolic myocardial strain is load dependent, but the CMR literature largely disregards effects of myocardial afterload on strain and strain rate. This may reflect well known limitations of conventional myocardial afterload assessment using wall stress analyses, which are based on erroneous assumptions about left ventricular(LV) geometry and/or myocardial material properties. Therefo...
