Noninvasive quantification of left ventricular elastance and ventricular-arterial coupling using three-dimensional echocardiography and arterial tonometry.
Most techniques previously used to assess left ventricular (LV) end-systolic elastance (E(es)) and ventricular-arterial coupling (C(LV-A)) relied on invasive measurements and data acquisition over a wide range of loading conditions. Our goals were to 1) assess the feasibility of noninvasive assessment of E(es) and C(LV-A) using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) and arterial t...
متن کاملEffects of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Rehabilitation on Left Ventricular Mechanical Efficiency and Ventricular‐Arterial Coupling in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Success of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is generally assessed by the objective improvement in peak volume of inhaled oxygen (VO2) measured by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX). However, cardiac mechanical efficiency and ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) are the other important dimensions of the heart failure pathophysiology, which are not included in CPX-derived data. The effect o...
متن کاملMeasurement of pulmonary arterial elastance in patients with systolic heart failure using Doppler echocardiography
OBJECTIVE A reliable and easy-to-perform method for measuring right ventricular (RV) afterload is desirable when scheduling patients with systolic heart failure to undergo heart transplantation. The present study aimed to investigate the accuracy of echocardiographically-derived pulmonary arterial elastance as a measurement of pulmonary vascular resistance by comparing it with invasive measures...
متن کاملThe prognostic value of arterial stiffness in systolic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Increased arterial stiffness is an indicator of mortality. This study consists of an 18-month follow-up of the mortality in advanced heart failure patients with increased arterial stiffness. METHODS The study followed up 98 patients with a diagnosis of heart failure in NYHA class III and IV (76 males, 22 females and mean age of 60 ± 12 years) with a left ventricular ejection fracti...
متن کاملIncremental Prognostic Value of Conventional Echocardiography in Patients with Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) presents high morbidity and mortality in spite of therapeutic advance. Identifying factors of worst prognosis is important to improve assistance during the hospital phase and follow-up after discharge. The use of echocardiography for diagnosis and therapeutic guidance has been of great utility in clinical practice. However, it is not clear i...
