The Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Men and Women Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Objective: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is associated with increased morbidity and mortality therefore, interventions that halt or reverse ventricular remodeling are expected to prevent these clinical outcomes. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiac remodeling process in patients with coronary artery disease and then compare the results b...

Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
متن کاملAnterior and posterior left ventricular aneurysm repair concomitant with off pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Background Necrosis after myocardial infarction may cause aneurysm in the left ventricle. Disorders of contractility in the left ventricle due to aneurysm can result with congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia and thromboemboli. This is a retrospective analysis of our clinical experience in the restoration of left ventricular aneurysm via modified linear closure during off pump corona...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
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...
متن کاملPump up the volume: Cardiac resynchronization therapy to improve renal function
In the western population, approximately 40% of heart failure is associated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 0.35 or less. Conduction abnormalities are common in systolic heart failure. A third of the patients with QRS greater than 120 msec have left bundle branch block (LBBB) and 17% have QRS duration 150 msec [1]. Delayed atrio-ventricular (AV) and intraventricular conduction...
