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...

conclusions male gender, history of hypertension, high nyha score, and the presence of cad predict lvef deterioration in patients with lbbb. objectives the present study aimed to identify underlying factors that predict left ventricular ejection fraction (lvef) deterioration in patients suffered from complete lbbb. patients and methods in a retrospective case-control study, the data of 220 cons...

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...

conclusions despite the widespread use of 2d lvef and its good agreement with ventriculography, strain analysis seems to be more reliable as a quantitative tool for ventricular assessment. results the lvef values obtained by the two methods of ventriculography and echocardiography were not significantly different. the highest correlation regarding the echocardiographic lvef was obtained in the ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in stable outpatients with heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Although LVEF is an accepted prognostic indicator of prognosis in HF patients, the relationship of LVEF and mortality across the full spectrum of LVEF is incompletely understood. METHODS We examined the association of...

This study was performed to evaluate the Tc-pyp SPECT role in determination of AMI severity and extension. Pyp SPECT imaging was done for 54 patients with AMI, who met the WHO criteria. SPECT findings were correlated with LVEF measurements. The abnormal scan was graded according to the intensity and was compared with the activity of the sternum in the same image. In addition, a segmental ...
