Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Systemic
نویسنده
چکیده
Ficuax 1. Two-dimensional echocardiogram stop frame images are shown above and accompanying schematics below. Left panel demonstrates an apical image with four heart chambers. Middle panel shows cloud of echoes from peripheral injection of normal saline solution demonstrating simultaneous appearance of echoes in all four chambers. A similar injection postoperatively demonstrates echoes in right atrium and right ventricle only, indicating shunt closure.

The effect of eight weeks of moderate-intensity endurance training on myocardial capillary density, ejection fraction and left ventricular shortening fraction in male rats with myocardial infarction
Background and objective: Vascular obstruction and impaired blood flow and oxygen delivery cause a myocardial infarction and limit a personchr('39')s function. Therefore, finding a way to create new arteries and replace blocked arteries has always been of interest to researchers, including exercise physiologists. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of moder...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in patients with stable systemic lupus erythematosus.
Echocardiography was used to compare the left ventricular function of 43 female patients with stable systemic lupus erythematosus with 93 healthy females in 3 age groups. Left ventricular systolic function was evaluated by the left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular diastolic function was evaluated by the diastolic descent rate of the anterior mitral leaflet (DDR), the ratio of ...
متن کاملThe Relation between Left Ventricular Function and Serum Ferritin in Major Β-Thalassemia
Abstract Objective Cardiac dysfunction is a major cause of death in patients with beta thalassemia. In these patients, repeated blood transfusion, ineffective erythropoiesis and increased gastrointestinal iron absorption lead to iron overload in the body and this induced heart failure. Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured in major beta thalassemia (β-Th) patients to detect the rela...
متن کاملNormal left ventricular ejection fraction in systemic arteriovenous fistula. Implications for the use of noninvasive methods in differential diagnosis of heart failure.
Heart failure is frequently a result of impaired systolic ventricular performance. We describe a patient with heart failure and a systemic arteriovenous fistula who had left ventricular enlargement and a normal left ventricular ejection fraction, demonstrated by gated cardiac blood pool scanning. The heart failure was relieved by surgical repair of the fistula, but the left ventricular ejection...

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...
