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 کاملCardiac rest and reserve function in patients with Fontan circulation.
OBJECTIVES In the present study, we systematically tested cardiac rest and reserve function in patients with Fontan physiology to check for inherent limitations of this circulation. BACKGROUND Details of the mechanisms of cardiac performance that could account for adverse outcome after Fontan surgery are not well understood. METHODS The subjects were 17 Fontan patients with good functional ...
متن کاملVentricular‐Arterial Function and Coupling in the Adult Fontan Circulation
BACKGROUND In adult Fontan patients, ventricular or arterial dysfunction may impact homeostasis of the Fontan circulation and predispose to heart failure. We sought to characterize ventricular-arterial (VA) properties in adult Fontan patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Adult Fontan patients (n=170), including those with right (SRV, n=57) and left (SLV, n=113) dominant ventricular morphology, were c...
متن کاملINDICES OF LEFT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION 441 Echocardiographic Indices of Left Ventricular Funci ion * A Comparison
Multiple M-mode echocardiographic indices of left ventricular function are currently in use, but their reliability is disputed. Therefore, we correlated echo ejection fraction (EF) using quadratic (Q) and cubic (C) formulae, percentage of minor axis shortening (%S), mean velocity of circumferential fiber shortening (mVCF), and peak VCF with angiographic EF in 37 subjects, including 10 normal su...
متن کاملEvaluation of Advanced Echocardiographic Parameters of Right Ventricular in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background and Objective: Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure of the pulmonary artery which leads to right ventricular dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were col...
