INTRODUCTION Cardiac function is influenced by bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Studies have shown the various cardiotoxic effects of high-dose chemotherapy. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of BMT on cardiac systolic function using echocardiographic indices. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with lymphoma (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's), multiple myeloma, and solid tumors which ...

Background: Because of the importance of thyroid function and its effect on different organs, such as the heart, this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of levothyroxine on cardiac function in children with subclinical hypothyroidism. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on children aged 4-12 years old with diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism in Amirkola Children's Hosp...

Peak systolic left ventricular pressure was predicted in five infants with aortic stenosis by use of a wall stress constant, K. K was determined in 10 normal infants according to the formula K = P . Ds/Ws, where P = arterial pressure by Doppler, DS = end-systolic LV dimension, and WS = end-systolic wall thickness. Left ventricular peak systolic pressure was estimated in five infants using the f...

Previous studies have suggested that left ventricular pressure (P) can be predicted in patients with aortic stenosis by the equation P = 235 h/r, where 235 is a constant peak wall stress (sigma), h is end-systolic wall thickness, and r is end-systolic dimension/2; h and r are measured by M-mode echocardiography. In 73 patients with aortic stenosis (valve area less than 0.7 cm2), measured and pr...

The relation between dyspnoea of presumed cardiac origin and disturbed left ventricular systolic function was studied in a group of 67 year old men from the general population of Gothenburg, Sweden. Forty two men with cardiac dyspnoea were identified and 45 controls were randomly selected from a screened cohort of 644 men. Dyspnoea was graded according to the World Health Organisation standard,...

results of the 41 patients with dcm, echocardiography examination revealed 11 patients (27%) without mitral regurgitation and 12 (29%) with mild, 11 (27%) with moderate, and seven (17%) with severe mitral regurgitation. all of the morphological and functional parameters of left ventricle, atrium and mitral valve in dcm patients were greater than those in healthy subjects (all p < 0.05), except ...

Objective: This study aims to analyze the diagnostic value of echocardiography in patients with chronic heartfailure. Methods: 30 heart failure admitted our hospital during January 2021 2023 were selected as observation group, and healthy people who received physical examination same period reference group. Both groups echocardiography, results ultrasound compared, subjects group grouped accord...

OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of target-dose metoprolol in treating chronic heart failure (CHF) patients complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Method s : One hundred and fifty-four elderly patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (n=77), which were treated with target-dose metoprolol and conventional therapy, and routinely treated ...
