The anatomic correlate of ventricular dysfunction in tetralogy of fallot.
Using a quantitative microscopic technique, we quantitated right and left ventricular interstitial tissue space vs. myocardial fiber space in 4 groups of autopsied hearts: 1) 5 normal hearts; 2) 5 hearts from infants _??_ 2 years old with tetralogy of Fallot; 3) 10 hearts from children 21/2-13 years old with tetralogy of Fallot, and 4) 5 hearts from adult patients _??_20 years old with tetralog...
متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
متن کاملRight ventricular diastolic dysfunction in the postoperative period of tetralogy of Fallot.
OBJECTIVE To assess right ventricular diastolic function in the intermediate postoperative period of repair of tetralogy of Fallot. METHODS We carried out a case-control study with 60 patients divided into 2 groups as follows: 1) group I - 30 patients who had undergone repair of tetralogy of Fallot and 2) group II - 30 healthy children. The 2 groups were paired for age, sex, and body surface....
متن کاملLate-stage left ventricular dysfunction in adult survivors of tetralogy of Fallot repair in childhood
Objective Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in adult survivors of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair in childhood has been observed, although the relationship with long-term outcome remains inadequately described. Methods A cohort of 44 consecutive adult patients with TOF repair in childhood were followed prospectively from January 2001 through June 2016. LVSD was defined as an echoc...
متن کاملLeft ventricular performance in ischemic right ventricular dysfunction.
Ventricular Dysfunction To the Editor: Brookes et al1 reported decreased left ventricular (LV) systolic performance during right ventricular (RV) ischemia in the pig and concluded that “The hemodynamic compromise seen in association with acute RV dilatation within an intact pericardium is partly attributable to impaired LV systolic performance and cannot be wholly ascribed to changes in either ...
