Right ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملReference values for right atrial and right ventricular morphology and function using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background The right ventricular (RV) morphology and function are important parameters for the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary diseases and serve as predictors for the longterm outcome. To date there are little data about right heart characteristics due to its complex anatomy. Since cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold-standard for the evaluation of left and right cardiac anatomy and funct...
متن کاملComprehensive work up of right ventricular reverse remodelling after successful pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thrombembolic pulmonary hypertension - a cardiac magnetic resonance study
Background About 3.8% of patients suffering an acute pulmonary embolism will develop chronic thrombembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). As a consequence of increasing pulmonary pressure and resistance right ventricular systolic and diastolic function deteriorate while right ventricular volumes increase. Pulmonary thrombendarterectomy (PEA) offers a potential cure with excellent longterm outc...
متن کاملRight ventricular reverse remodelling after balloon pulmonary angioplasty.
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has been reported to improve haemodynamics and functional capacity, with an acceptable risk, in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are not candidates for pulmonary endarterectomy. However, right ventricular (RV) function, an important predictor in CTEPH, remains to be elucidated. We aimed to examine the impact of BPA on RV...
