Intervention ventriculography. Comparative value of nitroglycerin, post-extrasystolic potentiation and nitroglycerin plus post-extrasystolic potentiation.
The comparative value of nitroglycerin (TNG), post-extrasystolic potentiation (PESP) and their combination (TNG + PESP) to unmask asynergic residual contraction was examined, each patient serving as his own control. Twelve of 13 hypokinetic zones improved both with TNG and PESP. One remained unchanged with either. Of 15 akinetic zones, four improved with both TNG and PESP, while ten remained un...
متن کاملPost-extrasystolic potentiation without a compensatory pause in normal and diseased hearts.
Variables derived from left ventricular volume were used to study post-extrasystolic potentiation. Left ventriculograms were obtained from 11 healthy individuals and 49 patients with coronary heart disease (30 with a previous myocardial infarction and 19 without any signs of myocardial damage). Post-extrasystolic potentiation was induced by a regularly driven right atrial rhythm that was interr...
متن کاملA new, noninvasive technique for inducing post-extrasystolic potentiation during echocardiography.
Left ventricular function was evaluated in 34 patients with the echocardiogram, and an external mechanical cardiac stimulator was used to induce a ventricular premature contraction (VPC) noninvasively. Extent of post-extrasystolic potentiation (PESP) was determined by comparing systolic dimensional shortening and ejection fraction of the sinus beat preceding the VPC to that of the potentiated b...
متن کامل[Post-extrasystolic potentiation in chronic Chagas' heart disease. A radiologic contrast ventriculography study].
OBJECTIVE To determine the existence and frequency of the phenomenon of post-extrasystolic potentiation in dyssynergic myocardial areas of patients with chronic Chagas' heart disease studied by use of radiologic contrast ventriculography. METHODS This study is a semiquantitative retrospective analysis of radiologic contrast ventriculography in patients with chronic Chagas' disease, who were c...
متن کاملImplementation of Contraction to Electrophysiological Ventricular Myocyte Models, and Their Quantitative Characterization via Post-Extrasystolic Potentiation
Heart failure (HF) affects over 5 million Americans and is characterized by impairment of cellular cardiac contractile function resulting in reduced ejection fraction in patients. Electrical stimulation such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) have shown some success in treating patients with HF. Computer simulations have the potential to help i...
