Evaluation of Systolic Function of the Left Ventricle
نویسندگان
چکیده
2 Introduction The assessment of left ventricular function is one of the most clinically important and frequently requested tasks in echocardiography. We are witnessing a progressive development in echocardiographic methods and techniques including the use of higher frequency transducers, tissue Doppler, harmonic imaging and trans-pulmonary or left sided contrast agents.

The role of oral dipyridamole stress gated SPECT in assessing the response of the left ventricle to stress: Re-evaluation of an old method
Introduction: We aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected CAD is different from that of intravenous (IV) dipyridamole using Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Methods: Eighty-nine patients (17 M / 72 W; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent a dipyridamole stre...

Introduction: Cardiovascular abnormalities have been reported in liver cirrhosis (LC). In these patients, cardiac symptoms and physical signs occur as the liver functions worsen. Cirrhosis is associated with hyper dynamic circulation and beta-adrenergic system changes responsible for the cardiovascular abnormalities. The purpose of the present study was to explore the echocardiographic findi...

متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Function in Patients with Brain Death using Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring
Background: Studies on hemodynamic changes in brain death are in vitro and in animal studies. And very few studies have been done on the hemodynamic changes of brain death. The aim of this study was to use advanced hemodynamic monitoring with echocardiography for evaluation of donated heart and to evaluate the moment by moment brain death patients with advanced hemodynamic monitoring tools and ...

Abstract Background and purpose: Recent studies showed that erythropoietin (EPO) despite having role in hematopoiesis, has non-hematopoietic tissue protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury. In this study we evaluated the effects of erythropoietin on reducing ischemia-reperfusion injuries after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Materials and methods: 60 patients that was ...
