Positive end-expiratory pressure aggravates left ventricular diastolic relaxation further in patients with pre-existing relaxation abnormality.
BACKGROUND Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been known to adversely influence cardiac output. Even though left ventricular (LV) diastolic function significantly contributes to LV performance, the effects of PEEP on LV diastolic function remains controversial. We, therefore, aimed to examine the effects of PEEP on LV diastolic function by use of pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging in p...
متن کاملSerial changes in systolic and diastolic echocardiographic indices as predictors of outcome in patients with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic estimation of left ventricular ejection fraction aids in predicting adverse outcomes in coronary artery disease. However, in patients with impaired left ventricular function, further risk stratification is difficult. METHODS A 2 year retrospective review was performed to identify patients with ejection fraction < or=30%. Echocardiographic measures of systolic and ...
متن کاملElevated Derived Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Corresponds With Poor Outcome in Patients Undergoing Pre-Operative Chemotherapy in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Background: Platinum-based pre-operative chemotherapy (POC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) increases the complete pathological response rate at cystectomy and improves overall survival. However, 60% of MIBC patients still has muscle-invasive disease at cystectomy despite POC. Therefore, accurate prediction of response to POC is an important clinical need. We hypothesized that an elev...
متن کاملStudy of Correlation of Pre-Operative Findings with Intra-Operative Ossicular Status in Patients with Chronic Otitis Media
Introduction: Chronic otitis media (COM) has been broadly classified into mucosal and squamous subtypes. COM types are associated with erosion of the ossicular chain. The aim of the present study was to correlate the type of COM, the site of perforation/retraction, and the type of disease pathology with the pattern and degree of ossicular chain necrosis. Materials and Methods: A prospecti...
متن کاملSerial assessment of left ventricular diastolic function after Fontan procedure.
OBJECTIVE To assess longitudinal changes in systemic ventricular diastolic function late after the Fontan procedure. DESIGN AND PATIENTS Prospective study of 13 patients at 2.8 (2.0) years (early) and again at 11.4 (2.0) years (late) after the Fontan procedure by Doppler echocardiography with simultaneous ECG, phonocardiogram, and respirometer. SETTING Tertiary paediatric cardiac centre. ...
