The prognostic value of left ventricular systolic function measured by tissue Doppler imaging in septic shock
INTRODUCTION Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is common in septic shock. Its association with the clinical outcome is still controversial. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a useful tool to quantify LV function; however, little knowledge is available about the prognostic value of these TDI variables in septic shock. Therefore, we performed this prospective study to determine the role of TDI vari...
متن کاملEvaluation of left ventricular systolic function revisited in septic shock
The meta-analysis of Huang and coworkers failed to find any evidence for a protective effect of a decreased left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). These results have to be interpreted with caution since in most studies included in the meta-analysis patients with LV systolic dysfunction received inotropic drugs. We have some arguments suggesting that such a treatment may improve macrocirc...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function by tissue Doppler imaging after acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate left ventricular systolic and diastolic function by Tissue Doppler imaging after acute myocardial infarction. METHODS It was a hospital based, prospective descriptive study, from 1st July 2010 to 31st Dec. 2010. Total of 200 patients having acute myocardial infarction underwent detailed tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) echocardiographic examination for evaluation of left ven...
متن کاملTissue Doppler imaging as a long-term prognostic index in left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Tissue Doppler parameters correlate with left ventricular (LV) filling pressure and can be useful as prognostic indexes for patients with heart failure. OBJECTIVE Determine whether tissue Doppler parameters can predict events during long term follow-up of outpatients with LV systolic dysfunction. METHODS Retrospective study with 73 patients (aged 60.9+/-12.1 years) who underwent ...
متن کاملNormal left ventricular systolic time intervals assessed by pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography in the Turkmen horse of Iran
The Turkmen horse is one of the oldest and purest breeds in the world. There is no information with regards to the normal echocardiographic parameters of this horse regarding to cardiac diseases. Pulsed-wave (PW) Doppler echocardiography was performed on 42 clinically normal 3- to 15-year-old racing Turkmen horses. There were 26 stallions and 16 mares. The left ventricular isovolumetric contrac...
