Teasing Apart Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Phenotypes With Echocardiographic Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phenotyping heart failure represents a major challenge for both research studies and clinical practice. Large-scale clinical trials have failed to achieve meaningful improvement in clinical outcomes with different pharmacological agents in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Therefore, an alternative scheme for phenotyping heart failure is needed, which is both pathophysiologically distinct and practical for routine clinical application.

متن کاملEstimation of Ejection Fraction with Echocardiographic and Cardioangiographic Methods in 50 Cardiac Patients
Ejection fraction is the most important indicator of heart failure. Angiography , is a standard method to demonstrate ejection fraction but it is invasive. Therefore determination of sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography versus angiography is a good guidance for physicians. A total number of 50 patients were enrolled in a prospective study. Two dimension and M-Mode echocardiography...
متن کاملBenefits of Permanent His Bundle Pacing Combined With Atrioventricular Node Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Heart Failure With Both Preserved and Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
BACKGROUND Clinical benefits from His bundle pacing (HBP) in heart failure patients with preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction are still inconclusive. This study evaluated clinical outcomes of permanent HBP in atrial fibrillation patients with narrow QRS who underwent atrioventricular node ablation for heart failure symptoms despite rate control by medication. METHODS AND R...
متن کاملPrognostic Importance of Changes in Cardiac Structure and Function in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and the Impact of Spironolactone.
BACKGROUND Limited data exist regarding the impact of aldosterone antagonist therapy on cardiac structure and function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and on the prognostic relevance of changes in cardiac structure and function in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac structure and function were assessed by quantitative echocardiography ...
متن کامل"Diastolic heart failure" or heart failure caused by subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
OBJECTIVES To determine whether patients with suspected heart failure but preserved systolic function, as determined by conventional echocardiographic measures (often said to have "diastolic heart failure), might have subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction detectable by a new measure of left ventricular systolic function-left ventricular systolic atrioventricular plane displacement. DES...
