Subclinical cardiac abnormalities and physical function in asymptomatic elderly

چکیده
Methods In this community-based cohort of 28 patients free of known cardiac disease (mean age 73.8 ± 4) with preserved LV ejection fraction (mean LVEF 69.8 ± 6.4) and cardiac index (mean 3.1 ± 0.57), we assessed cardiac remodelling by cardiac MRI (concentricity (mass/ end-diastolic volume) and LV function by resting tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) performed at the septal and lateral mitral annulus, deriving myocardial systolic velocity (S), diastolic velocity (E) and ratio of E/A.

متن کاملPrevalence of left ventricular regional dysfunction differ in asymptomatic patients with systemic sclerosis compared to rheumatoid arthritis
Background and purpose In patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), cardiac involvements are common, may have serious consequences. Sensitive diagnostic techniques in cardiac MRI can identify subclinical myocardial abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to assess regional dysfunction of left ventricule in asymptomatic patients with SSc, compared to RA, by using ...
