Effects of pulsatile perfusion upon left ventricular function.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study compares the effects of pulsatile and nonpulsatile perfusion upon myocardial contractility. After 2 hr of ventricular fibrillation, control animals demonstrated a 37% decrease in left ventricular force, a 48% decrease in left ventricular compliance, and an increase in endomyocardial water content. On the other hand, after 2 hr of ventricular fibrillation, animals undergoing pulsatile perfusion had no significant change in ventricular diastolic compliance and only a 14% decrease in left ventricular force. The results ofthis study show that the addition of pulsatile perfusion minimized the deleterious effects of ventricular fibrillation upon myocardial contractility.

Introduction: We investigated the difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic volume(ESV) measured by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) in the post-dipyridamole stress and rest periods, and compared the results with the perfusion patterns found in the conventional non-gated tomograms. Methods: 297 consecutive patients were studie...

Objective(s): To determine the effects of triiodothyronine (T3) intracoronary perfusion in isolated hearts and short-term administration in rats on the left ventricular (LV) phosphorylation patterns of Akt and ERK1/2. Materials and Methods: Cardiodynamic and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated in Langendorff–perfused hearts. Left ventr...

Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...

Introduction: Many patients have only diastolic dysfunction without any abnormality in systolic function. We compared cardiac diastolic parameters obtained by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (Gated SPECT) with those evaluated by echocardiography. Methods: Forty-nine patients (aged 37-85 years, 19 males and 30 women) underwent Gated SPECT and echocardiogr...

Introduction: We aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected CAD is different from that of intravenous (IV) dipyridamole using Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Methods: Eighty-nine patients (17 M / 72 W; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent a dipyridamole stre...
