Overestimation of left ventricular volume by the indicator dilution technique.
• Since the work of Bing and co-workers and the subsequent observations of Holt, the indicator dilution technique has been used to measure ventricular volume. The validity of the technique depends upon thorough mixing of indicator with ventricular blood. However, experimental data have been presented by Irisawa et al. and subsequently by Swan and Beck suggesting that requisite mixing does not o...
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...
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 کاملImpact of body mass index on left ventricular mass.
BACKGROUND Obesity is an independent factor implicated in left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass. Early detection of increased LV mass in obese patients has prognostic and therapeutic implications. METHODS This case series was carried out in Choudhry Pervaiz Ellahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan from March to August 2011. A total of 100 consecutive patients inc...
متن کاملThe time constant of left ventricular relaxation: extrication from load dependence and overestimation of functional abnormality.
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction induces the increase of LV diastolic pressure and subsequently of left atrial and pulmonary capillary pressures independent of systolic function, resulting in the onset of heart failure. In the early 1990s, several clinical studies demonstrated that diastolic dysfunction is an independent prognostic factor in patients with heart failure with reduced e...
