Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

Objectives To investigate the association between left ventricular ... ventricular systolic pressure, which are parameters of LV diastolic dysfunction, than the low-parity group. The prevalence of CAD ...

and the slope of the rise of left ventricular diastolic pressure (Δp/Δt) was calculated at rest and during exercise (Δv/Δp). The results of these measurements were compared with those obtained on nine ...

However, pulmonary haemodynamics correlate poorly with patient symptoms, which are influenced by right ventricular tolerance of the increased afterload ... There was also evidence of ‘left ...

The left side of the ... when we measure blood pressure, we are measuring the pressure in the arteries during both phases of the cardiac cycle — systolic and diastolic. So, blood pressure is reported ...

BACKGROUND: The optimal coronary stenting technique for true left main bifurcation lesions is uncertain. EBC MAIN (European ...

The following is a summary of “Cardiopulmonary Ultrasound to Predict Care Escalation in Early Sepsis: A Pilot Study,” published in the January 2025 issue of Emergency Medicine by Kuttab et al.

Left-sided heart failure involves the left ventricle (bottom left chamber of the heart ... Chronic heart failure develops over time from medical conditions such as long-term hypertension (high blood ...

Additionally, volume overload might affect the LA pressure change. We did not perform an analysis of the prognostic value of persistent iASD. This study investigated for the first time haemodynamic ...

requires a left lateral thoracotomy and direct puncture of the left ventricular apex. Other approaches include the transaortic, which requires a sternotomy and the subclavian, which requires a ...

The specific echocardiographic variables include mitral annular early diastolic velocity (e'), left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (E/e'), left atrial volume index ... The HRs with 95% CIs were ...
