The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the long-term aerobic exercises on cardiac structure, left ventricular stroke volume, and cardiac output. To achieve the purpose of the study, a total of 22 volunteers-including 10 people who have continued regular exercises and 12 people as the control group-were selected as subjects. With regard to data processing, the IBM SPSS Statist...

The accuracy of electrocardiography, M-mode echocardiography and two-dimensional echocardiography in predicting left ventricular hypertrophy was compared in 50 patients who came to autopsy within 6 months after the studies were performed. Several methods for determining left ventricular hypertrophy were examined for each of the three techniques. M-mode echocardiography was technically adequate ...

conclusions echocardiography and 2d speckle tracking strain imaging shows improvements in left ventricular deformation indices in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (avrt) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) patients for the mean systolic strain and strain rate at 24 hours and the three-month follow-up. in spite of the normal lvef, even during sinus rhythm, deformation ...

Increased left-ventricular mass is an important cardiovascular risk factor for morbidity and mortality. Apart from obvious differences in cardiac size, the changes in left-ventricular mass in response to age and hypertrophic stimuli are very different in men and women. Whereas left-ventricular mass increases with age in apparently healthy women, it remains constant in men. Under increased cardi...

BACKGROUND Left ventricular mass (LVM) is correlated with body composition and central hemodynamics as well as kidney function. Recently, fat-free mass has been considered to be more strongly correlated with LVM in comparison to other descriptors of fatness. We therefore address the question of whether comprehensive descriptors of fatness, central hemodynamics and renal characteristics demonstr...

Beneficial effects of recombinant human GH on cardiac function have been reported in humans with GH deficiency and in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. No randomized controlled trial has been performed on the effects of recombinant human GH on cardiac function in patients with ischemic cardiac failure. We therefore randomly assigned 22 patients with ischemic cardiac failure (left...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the quantitative relationship, if any, between signal averaged electrocardiographic variables and echocardiographically determined left ventricular mass in hypertensive subjects. DESIGN Cohort analytic prospective study. SETTING University hospital. SUBJECTS 50 hypertensive subjects selected consecutively from inpatients. Patients older than 75 years, with underly...

abstract: the preoperative and surgical management of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm(lvp) associated with aortic valve replacement in a 76 year old male jehovah’s witness patient is reported. the satisfactory recovery observed in this patient demonstrates the feasibility of this complex surgical procedure even in this particular patient population.

conclusions the administration of curcumin in patients undergoing dialysis had no positive effects on enhancing lvef and lv function. further research is required to shed sufficient light on this issue. results the mean age was 44.2 ± 13.4 years for the curcumin group and 45.4 ± 6.2 years for the placebo group. the study population comprised 22 male and 13 female patients. there were no signifi...
