Effect of Left Bundle Branch Block on LV Function
Left bundle branch block is associated with a smaller degree of left ventricular ejection fraction improvement.
Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)
Left Ventricular Function Predicts Sepsis Short-Term Mortality
Left ventricular depression is known to occur in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.
Cimaglermin Alfa Shows Promise in Phase I Heart Failure Trial
Cimaglermin may be a potential therapy to enhance cardiac function in left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
ACE Inhibitors May Slow Myocardial Fibrosis in Muscular Dystrophy
ACE inhibitors slowed the progression of myocardial fibrosis in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy or Becker muscular dystrophy.
Iron Deficiency Affects Outcomes in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Patients with iron deficiency had significantly lower decrease in LV end-diastolic diameter and improvement in ejection fraction after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Preventing LV Remodeling in Trastuzumab-Treated Breast Cancer
While perindopril and bisoprolol were well-tolerated and no serious adverse events were reported, they did not prevent trastuzumab-mediated left ventricular remodeling.
LVAD-Associated Mechanical Unloading in Ischemic and Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy
LVEF increased from 20% to 24% in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and from 17% to 27% in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
ICD Implantation in Nonischemic Heart Failure Does Not Reduce Long-Term Mortality
Of the 556 patients assigned to receive an ICD, 120 died compared with 131 in the control group who received usual care.
LV Diastolic Dysfunction Occurs Frequently in Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction occurs more frequently in patients with in polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
NT-proBNP Levels in Older vs Younger Patients With Decompensated Heart Failure
Prognostic value of absolute and relative NT-proBNP levels was similar, but attainability was significantly lower in older patients.
