Hanging-Associated Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
… 8 patients (2 males, 34 ± 13 year-old) showed left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction (mean LVEF: 34 ± 16%). Global hypokinesia was presented in one patient. Apical ballooning with sparing of the basal segments was presented in 2 patients. Basal akinesia and apical hyperkinesia was presented …

… dose dobutamine administration) as predictors of left ventricular segmental and global functional recovery in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction undergoing surgical or percutaneous revascularisation. Taking into account previous studies, revascularisation of the viable myocardium …

Prevention of cancer therapy related cardiotoxicity: A Tayside Pharmaco-Epidemiology study (PROTECT-TAYSIDE study)
… of chemotherapeutic agents many patients are left with the unfortunate side effects of these drugs. Cytotoxic antibiotics such as anthracyclines and the monoclonal antibody trastuzamab are both commonly used in breast cancer and may cause irreversible cardiotoxicity, though trastuzumab-induced …

Impact of diastolic dysfunction on physical function and body composition in maintenance hemodialysis patients
… (MHD) patients. Although metrics related to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) such as ejection fraction (EF) are commonly used to predict adverse CV outcomes, LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) measures may provide better prognostic values in MHD patients because they are less …

Characterisation of the pharmacological actions in humans of multiple vasoactive enzyme inhibitors with therapeutic potential in heart failure
… (n=89) with coronary artery disease but normal left ventricular function were studied using wire myography. The vasopressor response to various neurohormones in the presence of omapatrilat, KC12615 (the active metabolite of SLV 306) and other vasoactive enzyme inhibitors is reported. 2) …

The role of myocardial fibrosis and ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in the pathogenesis and treatment of contractile myocardial dysfunction.
Structural and functional abnormalities of the left ventricle and atrium are important prognostic factors in patients with cardiovascular disease. Dysfunction of the left ventricle in heart failure exposes the left atrium to elevated pressures during diastole, which result in adverse left atrial …

Pathophysiological role of aldosterone in cardiac remodelling after myocardial infarction
… of heart failure (HF) and/or evidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) following AMI increases both in-hospital and longer-term mortality. A series of structural and functional changes occur within the heart in general and within the left ventricle (LV) in particular …

Heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: common partners, common problems
… infarction (MI) complicated by heart failure, left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), or both enrolled in the Valsartan in Acute Myocardial Infarction (VALIANT) trial. COPD was an independent predictor of mortality, largely due to increased non-cardiovascular (HR 1.86 [1.43–2.42]) and …

The development and course of heart failure after a myocardial infarction
… general population are poorly described. Cardiac dysfunction subsequent to MI is a common cause for morbidity and mortality, however, there are few data on what proportion of longterm survivors of MI has important cardiac dysfunction and/or HF.The aim of this thesis is to describe the incidence …
