Maternal and fetal outcome of subsequent pregnancy in patients with documented peripartum cardiomyopathy
… rate, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% or death after at least 6 months follow-up, was 30%, with 16% (3/18) mortality. Persistently reduced LVEF (<50%) before entering SSP was present in 44% of patients, while full recovery (LVEF≥ 50%) was present in 85%. Persistently reduced …

Σύγχρονα δεδομένα του ρόλου της καρδιαγγειακής απεικόνισης στη διαστρωμάτωση κινδύνου στη μη ισχαιμική μυοκαρδιοπάθεια
… στο κλάσμα εξώθησης της αριστερής κοιλίας (LVEF), ωστόσο αυξανόμενα δεδομένα δείχνουν ότι η αποκλειστική χρήση του LVEF αποτυγχάνει να αναγνωρίσει σημαντικό ποσοστό ασθενών με αυξημένο αρρυθμιολογικό κίνδυνο, ιδιαίτερα σε πρώιμα στάδια της νόσου. Η καρδιακή μαγνητική τομογραφία (CMR) έχει …

Outcomes of patients with hypertensive heart disease and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) at a tertiary centre in South Africa
… there was a significant (p< 0.001). Recovery of LVEF was observed in 86.5% patients where repeat imaging was done [LVEF ≥ 50% in 45.9%; LVEF improved ≥10% in 40.5%]. 1- and 3-year transplant-free survival was 98.3% and 90.5%, respectively. Conclusion. Most patients with HHD and impaired LVEF have …

Beta-blocker therapy in the era of primary percutaneous intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction
… and MACE, in beta-blocker group with abnormal LVEF (left ventricle ejection fraction, EF<50%), were 0.54 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34-0.85, P=0.008) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.50-1.04, P=0.082). In beta-blocker group with normal LVEF (EF≥50%), the relative HR for death and MACE were 0.50 (95% CI …

Factors associated with mortality in adults admitted with heart failure at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka,Zambia
… electrocardiographs were also done to determine LVEF and to check for the presence of arrhythmias. Patients were dichotomized into those with preserved (LVEF>=40 percent) and reduced (LVEF< 40 percent) systolic function. Recruited patients were then prospectively followed up to determine outcome …

Dysfunctional but viable myocardium - ischemic heart disease assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and single photon emission computed tomography
… between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and infarct size and found that LVEF cannot be used to estimate infarct size, and vice versa. However, the study showed that LVEF can be used to estimate a maximum predicted infarct size, and that infarct size can be used to estimate a maximum …

Kardiale Funktionsstörung, Persönlichkeit und körperliches Befinden als Determinanten der Angst bei Patienten mit kardiovaskulären Risikofaktoren
… untersucht. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen der LVEF und der körperlichen Lebensqualität und auch ein Zusammenhang zwischen der LVEF und NT-proBNP Spiegeln konnte gezeigt werden. Die natriuretischen Peptide stehen wiederum in Zusammenhang mit der Angstausprägung. Dies wurde bereits in einigen …

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Recovery After Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
… protocol. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), end-systolic diameter (LVESD), and fractional shortening were assessed using serial echocardiography. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare parameters over six hospitalization stages. Two-way …

Early Identification of Chemotherapy Induced Cardiotoxicity Using Structural and Functional Cardiovascular MRI
… in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). As cancer survival rates increase, the occurrence of chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity is also increasing with reports of chronic heart failure rates of 3-36%, dependent on total dosage of chemotherapy. The recognition of the need to better …

Influence of missing explanatory variables and longitudinal assessments in breast cancer clinical trials
… mechanism. There was no benefit from imputing LVEF values in the HERA trial. It was appropriate to perform the repeated measures analysis of LVEF values using observed LVEF values only.

The safety and efficacy of novel dual function coronary stent in porcine model of myocardial infarction
… ISR, Infarct size and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) were evaluated after 6 weeks of stent implantation. Results: Mortality was higher in IGF-1 stent groups (TAZA IGF-1 and TA IGF-1) comparable to other groups. Mortality rate was 14.2% (N7), 30% (NlO), 0% (N6), and 25% (NB) in TAZA, TAZA IGF-1, …
