Right-sided heart failureor right ventricular failure (RVF) is a reduction in the blood output from the right ventricle. The pressure in the right atrium may be decreased, normal or increased depending on the return of blood from the rest of the body. Left-sided heart failure is more common...
This lesson focuses on the causes of heart failure, specifically what happens during left-sided heart failure and the impact the condition has on the respiratory system. The other lesson will explain to you how the right side of the heart is involved, how the kidneys play a critical role, ...
However, after treatment of the left PV occlusions, it was mainly the SLAS that became responsible for the progressive right heart failure. Catheter ablation for treatment of AF has evolved from ostial PV isolation to more extensive LA ablation to reduce the risk of PVS and improve sinus rhythm...
Acute heart failure symptoms and brain natriuretic peptide levels variation after left atrial appendage occlusionOur prospective study showed for the first time that LAAO modifies BNP levels and that trends of variation can have clinical impact during FU. The pathophysiological mechanisms of these ...
A two-sided P value < .05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows version 25.0 (IBM, Armonk, New York). Results Patient Characteristics A total of 760 patients met the inclusion criteria and had adequate echocardiographic image ...
The ratio of lung to body weight, an index of left-sided heart failure, was slightly but significantly increased in the HT and HT+DM groups Cardiac ACE and AT1R expression to a similar extent as compared with that in the control group Cardiac ACE expression and AT1R mRNA levels were ...
Cooper, MD JAMA Original Investigation Levothyroxine Treatment and Thyroid-Related Symptoms in Older Adults With Subclinical Hypothyroidism Simon P. Mooijaart, MD, PhD; Robert S. Du Puy, MD; David J. Stott, MD; Patricia M. Kearney, MD, PhD; Nicolas Rodondi, MD, MAS; Rudi G. J. ...
None of them was reported with specific heart failure symptoms. They were significantly older, more were female, had a smaller waist circumference (WC), a lower BMI, and a lower average blood pressure (BP) (all p = 0.001). Scientific Reports | 5:12078 | DOI: 10.1038/srep12078 ...
(55) demonstrated a continuous relationship between ESVi and both mortality and the development of heart failure symptoms. In a population with symptomatic heart failure and decreased LVEF, Lee et al. (56) found that LV end-diastolic dimension index, measured with M-mode echocardiography, was an...
The aim of this study was to investigate left ventricular (LV) global myocardial strain and LV involvement characteristics in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) and to evaluate their predictive value of adverse cardiac events. Sixty consecutive ARVD/C patients...
