Cardiac resynchronization therapy modulation of exercise left ventricular function and pulmonary O₂ uptake in heart failure.
To better understand the mechanisms contributing to improved exercise capacity with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), we studied the effects of 6 mo of CRT on pulmonary O(2) uptake (Vo(2)) kinetics, exercise left ventricular (LV) function, and peak Vo(2) in 12 subjects (age: 56 ± 15 yr, peak Vo(2): 12.9 ± 3.2 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1), ejection fraction: 18 ± 3%) with heart failure. We hypothesi...
متن کاملRight 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 کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy for management of congestive heart failure after repair of tetralogy of Fallot in an elderly patient.
A 65-year-old woman underwent total correction of tetralogy of Fallot with closure of ventricular septal defect, right ventricular outflow patch, pulmonary valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair. Pacemaker implantation using epicardial electrodes was simultaneously needed because she had complete atrioventricular block. The postoperative course was excellent. Eighteen months postoperative...
متن کاملRecurrent flash pulmonary edema due to rate-dependent left bundle branch block
Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is an electrophysiological abnormality that can have profound acute and chronic hemodynamic effects. Intermittent LBBB has been noted to occur with accelerations in heart rate, typically during exercise (known as rate-dependent LBBB). This has been associated with acute deteriorations in cardiac systolic function through the development of left ventricular (LV) d...
