Familial aggregation of left ventricular geometry and association with parental heart failure: the Framingham Heart Study.

BACKGROUND Data regarding the familial aggregation of left ventricular (LV) geometry and its relations to parental heart failure (HF) are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated concordance of LV geometry within 1093 nuclear families in 5758 participants of the original (parents) (n=2351) and offspring (n=3407) cohorts of the Framingham Heart Study undergoing routine echocardiography in mid...

بررسی 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 ...

The Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...

Doppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz

Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...
