Diagnostic electrocardiographic dyad criteria of emphysema in left ventricular hypertrophy
BACKGROUND The electrocardiographic diagnostic dyad of emphysema, namely a combination of the frontal vertical P-vector and a narrow QRS duration, can serve as a quasidiagnostic marker for emphysema, with specificity close to 100%. We postulated that the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy in emphysema may affect the sensitivity of this electrocardiographic criterion given that left ventri...

not be established. The early and late phases of gadolinium enhancement (Figure 3) were normal. In 68% of all post mortems and in recent studies using CMR, limited areas of noncompacted myocardium have been found in normal hearts and in patients with heart diseases, such as HCM, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and even hypertensive cardiomyopathy. Of note in this case was the considerable diagnos...
متن کاملDiagnosis of left-ventricular non-compaction in patients with left-ventricular systolic dysfunction: time for a reappraisal of diagnostic criteria?
AIMS Left-ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is characterized by excessive and prominent left-ventricular (LV) trabeculations and may be associated with systolic dysfunction in advanced disease. We sought to determine the proportion of patients fulfilling LVNC criteria in an adult population referred to a heart failure clinic using current diagnostic criteria. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred a...
متن کاملCore Concept: Prebiotics gain prominence but remain poorly defined.
With the gut microbiome increasingly recognized as a major player in shaping human biology, probiotic treatments—introducing a few billion purportedly beneficial micro-organisms into human gut communities composed of trillions of microbes—are under intense investigation. Study designs and results have been a mixed bag, and the impact of probiotics remains unclear. Enter the probiotics’ conceptu...
متن کاملIsolated left ventricular non-compaction controversies in diagnostic criteria, adverse outcomes and management.
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a morphological abnormality of excessive trabeculation of the LV, often complicated by ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias and cardioembolism. Advances in cardiovascular imaging and widespread availability of imaging technology have led to an increase in the diagnosis of LVNC imposing a need for evidence-based imaging diagnostic criteria. Alth...
