The duration of interventricular septal displacement in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension as a potential marker of right ventricular dysfunction and pressure overload. A cardiac magnetic resonance study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Right ventricular (RV) pressure overload results in interventricular septal displacement (IVSD) towards left ventricle in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). There is however scarce data on the duration of IVSD during cardiac cycle as expressed by curvature duration index (CDi) and its potential role in the evaluation of PAH patients. The aim of our study is to reveal the potential value of CDi as a marker of RV function and pressure overload.

Right 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 کاملAdverse ventricular–ventricular interactions in right ventricular pressure load: Insights from pediatric pulmonary hypertension versus pulmonary stenosis
Right ventricular (RV) pressure overload has a vastly different clinical course in children with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) than in children with pulmonary stenosis (PS). While RV function is well recognized as a key prognostic factor in iPAH, adverse ventricular-ventricular interactions and LV dysfunction are less well characterized and the pathophysiology is incompletel...

Background: Cardiac dysfunction due to chronic anemia and hemosiderosis are the major causes of death among patients with thalassemia intermedia. This study was performed to compare the cardiac function in thalassemia intermedia patients with normal subjects by means of echocardiography. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study performed on 22 patients affected by thalassemia int...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) causes pressure overload on the right ventricle and when untreated leads to progressive right ventricular dysfunction. Delayed contrast MRI can identify areas of myocardial infarction and myocardial fibrosis related to various cardiomyopathies. Delayed contrast magnetic resonance images in the short axis plane in 3 patients with PAH (Figure, A, idiopathic; ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Advanced Echocardiographic Parameters of Right Ventricular in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background and Objective: Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure of the pulmonary artery which leads to right ventricular dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were col...
