Are Measures of Left Ventricular Longitudinal Shortening Affected by Left Atrial Enlargement?
Background Even though left atrial (LA) size and function are intimately related to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, the role of LA with regard to LV systolic function is less clear. Consequently, we examined the potential association that might exist between measures of longitudinal LV systolic shortening and LA dilation using LA volume index (LAVI). Methods In this retrospective...
متن کاملSubclinical left ventricular dysfunction in Behcet's disease assessed by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the left ventricular (LV) systolic strain by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in order to provide the early detection of myocardial dysfunction in patients with Behcet's disease (BD). We also aimed to examine the relationship between LV systolic strain and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), which is a cardiac biomarker of ven...
متن کاملLongitudinal Study of Left Ventricular Mass Growth
Hypertension occurs in at least 70% of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is estimated to affect 11% (19.2 million) of the US adult population; CKD is associated with a large and disproportionate burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. CKD rivals diabetes mellitus as a coronary risk equivalent in veterans. Established risk factors for cardiovascular disease include left v...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Longitudinal Function Assessed by Speckle Tracking Ultrasound from a Single Apical Imaging Plane
Background. Transthoracic ultrasonography of the heart is valuable in monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients. Speckle tracking ultrasound (STU) has proven valid in estimating left ventricular systolic deformation. The aims of the study were to compare conventional and automated STU and to determine whether left ventricular systolic deformation could be estimated from one single ima...
متن کاملechocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...
