With acute mitral regurgitation, the left ventricle cannot adequately compensate and the left atrium is relatively non-compliant and non-dilated; symptoms, usually severe, always occur. Etiology ...
Volume overload due to mitral regurgitation leads to left atrial and left ventricular dilatation. When the severity of mitral regurgitation increases acutely, the pressure in the small, “normal ...
She suggests that an echocardiogram be performed every 5 years when there is mild regurgitation and normal end-systolic dimension (ESD) and normal ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle ...
Functional mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the left atrium or left ventricle dilates, causing the mitral valve annulus to also dilate and prevent the mitral valve leaflets from properly ...
Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), a marker of acute myocardial infarction and a soluble cytosolic protein, may be released following left ventricular remodelling in cardiac ...
The authors studied 10 individuals who, having had no previous history of left ventricular dysfunction, presented after a mean 7.2 ± 5.4 months of imatinib treatment with major volume overload ...
Objectives: We sought to assess the indexes of myocardial activation delay, using Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI), as potential diagnostic tools and predictors of cardiac events in patients with ...
