Atrial transport function in coronary artery disease: Relation to left ventricular function

Atrial transport function in coronary artery disease: relation to left ventricular function.

The atrial contribution to ventricular stroke volume was evaluated in 50 patients with coronary artery disease and found to be related to left ventricular function. All patients underwent complete hemodynamic and angiographic studies. Angiographic volume studies were utilized to determine atrial contribution to the stroke volume, end-systolic volume and ejection fraction. In 11 patients without...

Left ventricular function in coronary artery disease.

effect of elective percutaneous coronary intervention on left ventricular function in patients with coronary artery disease

coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity across the world. its treatment includes medical treatment, coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pci on echocardiographic findings of left ventricular (lv) systolic and diastolic function. 115 patients with co...

Mechanocardiographic assessment of left ventricular function in coronary artery disease.

Multiple regression analysis was used in order to evaluate the independent contribution and combined use of mechanocardiographic indices for assessing cardiac function in 23 patients with coronary artery disease. Three indices were derived from the quantitative displacement left apex cardiogram: the time from the onset of electrical depolarisation to the peak of the first derivative (t peak dD/...

R wave amplitude during exercise. Relation to left ventricular function and coronary artery disease.

Change in R wave amplitude (mean delta R) was measured sequentially during and after 12 lead maximal treadmill exercise tests in 14 subjects with normal coronary arteries and 62 patients with coronary artery disease. In normal subjects mean delta R decreased maximally one minute after exercise and returned to control levels within three minutes. In contrast, mean delta R increased in patients w...
