متن کاملImprovement of stress LVEF rather than rest LVEF after coronary revascularisation in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and viable myocardium.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate prospectively the response of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to high dose dobutamine infusion in patients showing substantial viability, with and without improved resting LVEF after revascularisation. METHODS Before and 9-12 months after revascularisation, 50 patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (LVEF 32 (8)%) and substantial myocardial viability (> or = 4 v...
متن کاملCoronary blood flow, metabolism, and function in dysfunctional viable myocardium before and early after surgical revascularisation.
OBJECTIVES To assess the link between perfusion, metabolism, and function in viable myocardium before and early after surgical revascularisation. DESIGN Myocardial blood flow (MBF, thermodilution technique), metabolism (lactate, glucose, and free fatty acid extraction and fluxes), and function (transoesophageal echocardiography) were assessed in patients with critical stenosis of the left ant...
متن کاملEffect of revascularizing viable myocardium on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
AIMS In patients with ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and viable myocardium, revascularization improves systolic function. Diastolic dysfunction is also present in such patients; however, whether revascularization improves diastolic function also is largely unknown. METHODS Twenty-six patients with chronic ischaemic cardiomyopathy [ejection fraction (EF) 32 +/- 6%, wall motion sco...
متن کاملBenefit of ECG-gated rest and stress N-13 cardiac PET imaging for quantification of LVEF in ischemic patients.
BACKGROUND ECG-gated rest-stress cardiac PET can lead to simultaneous quantification of both left ventricular ejection fraction and flow impairment. In this study, our aim was to assess the benefit of rest and stress PET ejection fraction (EF) (EFp) in relation to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) EF (EFs) and echocardiography EF (EFe). To this effect, the EFp was compared with...
