Maternal left ventricular transverse and long-axis systolic function during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVES Circumferential fiber shortening has been the dominant basis for conventional analysis by echocardiography of left ventricular systolic function during pregnancy. Results in the literature have been conflicting due mainly to the fact that geometric assumptions for the calculation of these indices are made that may not be valid due to changes in left ventricular shape during pregnancy...
متن کاملMaternal left ventricular diastolic and systolic long-axis function during normal pregnancy.
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate left ventricular (LV) function during normal pregnancy and investigate the effect of maternal factors. Little information about LV diastolic and long-axis systolic function in normal pregnancy exists. METHODS AND RESULTS Two hundred and twenty eight Doppler echocardiography and DTI studies of the mitral annulus were performed in 63 normal pregnant wo...
متن کاملSystolic left ventricular long axis function during dobutamine stress echocardiography.
AIMS To compare long-axis function and wall motion analysis for the detection of significant coronary artery stenoses in patients with single and multivessel disease. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed dobutamine stress echocardiography in 67 subjects, 14 with normal coronary anatomy, and 53 with significant coronary disease. A blunted increase in mean long-axis shortening of <0.25 cm was the b...
متن کاملMaternal left ventricular mass and diastolic function during pregnancy.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate changes in left ventricular mass and diastolic function during normal pregnancy. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 125 pregnant women at 9-42 weeks of gestation and 19 non-pregnant female controls. Two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography of the maternal left ventricle and left atrium was performed. RESULTS During pregnancy left ventricular mass increased ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function during pregnancy.
As emphasized by Watkins et al.,9 the variability in plasma renin activity in CHF is explained by the degree of compensation in maintaining arterial pressure and plasma volume; the latter measurement was not obtained in the Curtiss or Gavras study. The observations in these two recent studies reaffirm the importance of the RAA system in maintaining systemic vascular resistance (SVR) in CHF. Cur...
