Taxonomy of segmental myocardial systolic dysfunction
The terms used to describe different states of myocardial health and disease are poorly defined. Imprecision and inconsistency in nomenclature can lead to difficulty in interpreting and applying trial outcomes to clinical practice. In particular, the terms 'viable' and 'hibernating' are commonly applied interchangeably and incorrectly to myocardium that exhibits chronic contractile dysfunction ...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular systolic dysfunction mimicking myocardial infarction after pericardiocentesis
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and progressively worsening dyspnoea. Her previous medical history was unremarkable. She was admitted to the internal medicine department. A cardiologist was consulted because of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest Xray. On physical examination her blood pressu...
متن کاملHistopathological Correlates of Global and Segmental Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Experimental Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy in humans is characterized by segmental left ventricular wall motion abnormalities (WMA), mainly in the early stages of disease. This study aimed at investigating the detection of WMA and its correlation with the underlying histopathological changes in a chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy model in hamsters. METHODS AND RESULTS Female Syrian hamsters (n=34) ...
متن کاملGeometry of left ventricular contraction in the systolic click syndrome. Characterization of a segmental myocardial abnormality.
Left ventricular (LV) shape change during systole was characterized in nine patients with typical clinical findings of the systolic click syndrome (SCS) by means of cineangiographic measurements of three segmental diameters of the LV cavity and of the mitral valve ring (MVR) and contrasted with findings in eight patients with normal LV function. In the latter group, shortening of the proximal, ...
متن کاملIs it only diastolic dysfunction? Segmental relaxation patterns and longitudinal systolic deformation in systemic hypertension.
AIMS To investigate changes in longitudinal systolic function estimated by strain echocardiography in relation to global diastolic dysfunction and alterations in segmental relaxation patterns. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 75 hypertensive patients, of whom 45 had diastolic dysfunction and normal EF, and 30 matched controls. All subjects had 2D and colour Doppler myocardial imaging. Mean long...
