Echocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
متن کاملAssessment of left and right ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by vascular changes and immunologically induced fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Systemic sclerosis may be associated with both right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. AIM To analyse RV and LV myocardial diastolic function in patients with SSc and its relation to exercise capacity. ...
متن کاملInfluence of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function on Exercise-induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background: Exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (EIPH) can be caused not only by pulmonary vas‐ culopathy, but also by a significant increase in left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. This study evaluated the influence of LV diastolic function on EIPH in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: The study included 222 SSc patients (age 58.9 ± 13.1 years, 85% female) and 30 controls ...
متن کاملImpact of myocardial fibrosis on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis
Introduction: Patients with systemic sclerosis have a high prevalence of myocardial fibrosis, which has a potential negative impact on cardiac function. Diastolic dysfunction is a frequent echocardiographic finding in patients with scleroderma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible influence of myocardial fibrosis on the diastolic function of the left ventricle in patients with sys...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in patients with stable systemic lupus erythematosus.
Echocardiography was used to compare the left ventricular function of 43 female patients with stable systemic lupus erythematosus with 93 healthy females in 3 age groups. Left ventricular systolic function was evaluated by the left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular diastolic function was evaluated by the diastolic descent rate of the anterior mitral leaflet (DDR), the ratio of ...
