Age-related underutilization of left ventricular function evaluation in older heart failure patients.
BACKGROUND Underutilization of left ventricular function (LVF) evaluation in older patients with heart failure has been well documented, but age-related variation in the use of LVF evaluation has not been. METHODS We studied age-related variation of LVF evaluation in older Medicare-beneficiaries discharged with a diagnosis of heart failure in 1994 in Alabama. RESULTS A total of 1,090 patien...
متن کاملبررسی فراوانی نشانگر CTnI و عوامل مرتبط با آن در بیماران با دیاستولیک دیسفانکشن AHF (PEF)
Abstract Background: Diastolic heart failure comprises 50 percent of cases of heart failure. The implications of increased levels of cardiac troponin I (CTnI) on congestive heart failure with preserved systolic function (AHF PEF) have been poorly evaluated. We hypothesized that its level might be elevated in AHF PEF so this evaluation was done in patients referred to Taleghani hospital with ...
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 کاملEvaluation of heart disease in patients with beta-thalessemia major referred to Shahid Madanni Hospital in Khorram Abad in 2003
Background: Patients with beta-thalessemia major present with severe anemia and need continous transfusion therapy. An important complication of beta-thalessemia major is iron deposition in cardiac tissue, resulting in fibrosis and dysfunction. Cardiac involvement is the major cause of death in beta-thalessemia major. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac disease patients with bet...
متن کاملاثرات درمانی آلوپورینول بر عملکرد بطن چپ در بیماران مبتلا به نارسایی مزمن قلب
Introduction & Objective: Heart failure that is a major health problem with increasing incidence with the aging of the population often occurs as a result of ischemia and coronary artery disease. Allopurinol can protect the ischemic heart muscle and improve the use of energy during myocardial ischemia. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of allopurinol on the left ventric...
