Comparison of blood volume characteristics in anemic patients with low versus preserved left ventricular ejection fractions.
Anemia is a significant co-morbidity in patients with heart failure (HF) irrespective of the ejection fraction and is routinely quantified by hemoglobin concentration. Hemodilution as a cause of anemia has been described in systolic HF. The aim of this study was to further investigate the effects of plasma volume in patients with HF by (1) assessing the prevalence of dilutional anemia in patien...
متن کاملPredictors of increased left ventricular filling pressure in dialysis patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
AIM To study the left and right ventricular function and to assess the predictors of increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressure in dialysis patients with preserved LV ejection fraction. METHODS This study included 63 consecutive patients (age 57+/-14 years, 57% women) with end-stage renal failure. Echocardiography, including tissue Doppler measurements, was performed in all patients. Ba...
متن کاملLow-flow aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Valvular aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequent valvular disease in developed countries. Treatment decisions in AS are mainly based upon the symptomatic status of the patient and the severity of AS. Doppler echocardiography represents the standard tool for detecting and assessing the severity of the disease. Under the same denomination of severe AS [aortic valve area (AVA) < 1 cm(2)], severa...
متن کاملMitral valve repair in patients with low left ventricular ejection fractions: early and late results.
STUDY OBJECTIVES This retrospective study was performed to examine the outcome of mitral valve repair (ie, mitral valvuloplasty [MVP]) in relation to preoperative low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). DESIGN AND SETTINGS From our series of 338 consecutive patients who underwent MVP between 1983 and 2001, we compared the course of 302 patients with preoperative LVEF of > 35% (group I)...
متن کاملLeft ventricular volume regulation in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Ejection Fraction (EF) has attained the recognition as indicator of global ventricular performance. Remarkably, precise historical origins promoting the apparent importance of EF are scant. During early utilization EF has been declared a gold standard for the evaluation of the heart as a pump. In contrast, during the last two decades, clinicians have developed a measure of doubt in the universa...
