Intraventricular vortex properties in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Vortices may have a role in optimizing the mechanical efficiency and blood mixing of the left ventricle (LV). We aimed to characterize the size, position, circulation, and kinetic energy (KE) of LV main vortex cores in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) and analyze their physiological correlates. We used digital processing of color-Doppler images to study flow evolution in...
متن کاملThe prevalence and prognostic significance of right ventricular systolic dysfunction in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is the gold-standard technique for the assessment of ventricular function. Although left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction are strong predictors of outcome in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), there are limited data regarding the prognostic significance of right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction (RVSD). We investigated whether cardiovascular ...
متن کاملValue of ventricular stiffness index and ventriculoarterial interaction in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Whether echo-Doppler-derived index of ventricular elastance or ventriculoarterial interaction can reliably reflect circulatory efficiency in various conditions was investigated in the present study and whether they can be helpful in predicting exercise capacity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). METHODS AND RESULTS The 25 patients with DCM, 25 age- and gender-matched hy...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying conduction slowing and arrhythmogenesis in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Heart Failure (HF) is associated with an increased risk of sudden death caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Recent studies have implicated repolarization abnormalities and, in particular, exaggerated heterogeneity of transmural repolarization in the genesis of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a canine model of nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. The presence and degree to which conduc...
متن کاملLong-Term Outcome After Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation (CA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy can be challenging because of the complexity of underlying substrates. We sought to determine the long-term outcomes of endocardial and adjuvant epicardial CA in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 282 consecutive patients (aged 59±15 years, 80%...
