Comparison of four right ventricular systolic echocardiographic parameters to predict adverse outcomes in chronic heart failure.
AIMS Heart failure (HF) has a poor prognosis. Several right ventricular (RV) echocardiographic parameters have been proposed as sensitive markers to detect patients at risk. Our objective was to compare the predictive value of four RV systolic echocardiographic parameters for outcomes in patients with HF. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and thirty-six patients with stable HF and a left ventri...
متن کاملRight ventricular systolic function in hypertensive heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of cardiovascular admissions and hypertensive heart failure (HHF) is the most common cause of HF admissions in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is being increasingly recognized in HF and found to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in HF. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RV systoli...
متن کاملEchocardiographic evaluation of systolic heart failure
Echocardiography is the most commonly used modality for evaluating left ventricular size and function in the context of systolic heart failure. Traditional techniques, though extensively used, have their limitations and more recently several newer technologies have emerged that are more reproducible, provide prognostic information, guide therapies and have an important role in monitoring progre...
متن کاملSelf-care behaviors in patients with systolic heart failure
Background and Purpose: To improve life quality, and lower mortality and rehospitalization for heart failure patients, awareness and adherence to self-care behaviors are essential. This study aims to determine the adherence level to self-care behaviors in the patients with systolic heart failure hospitalized in Alborz hospital in Karaj andShahriar hospital, and it was conducted in 2013. Methods...
متن کاملEffects of right ventricular ejection fraction on outcomes in chronic systolic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Studies of the effect of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) on outcomes in heart failure (HF) are limited by small sample size and short follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the effect of baseline RVEF on outcomes in 2008 Beta-Blocker Evaluation of Survival Trial (BEST) participants with HF and left ventricular ejection fraction <or=35% during 24 months of mean follow...
