Cardiac sympathetic activity estimated by 123I-MIBG myocardial imaging in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy after beta-blocker or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy. (1/5911)

Impaired cardiac sympathetic activity can be evaluated by 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging. METHODS: We studied the significance of MIBG imaging for 24 patients (age 58+/-12 y) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We compared 12 patients (group A) treated with metoprolol (dose from 30-60 mg/d) with 12 patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Patients were studied before treatment, after 5 mo of treatment (only in group A) and after 1 y of treatment. Cardiac MIBG uptake was assessed as the heart-to-mediastinum activity ratio (H/M) and total defect score (TDS) from anterior planar and SPECT MIBG images, which were acquired in 4 h after tracer injection. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) calculated by echocardiography were also assessed. RESULTS: TDS decreased in both groups (in group A, from 30+/-7 through 23+/-9 to 18+/-10; P < 0.01, in group B, from 30+/-6 to 24+/-8; P < 0.01) and H/M was increased in both groups (in group A, from 1.87+/-0.31 through 2.03+/-0.28 to 2.14+/-0.29; P < 0.01, in group B, from 1.82+/-0.28 to 1.94+/-0.26; P < 0.05). But TDS and H/M were more improved in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). LVEF was significantly increased in only group A (from 38+/-6 through 43+/-8 to 49%+/-9%; P < 0.01). NYHA improved in both groups (in group A, from mean 2.5 through 2.1 to 1.8; P < 0.01, in group B, from mean 2.6 to 2.1; P < 0.05) but was more improved in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Cardiac function, symptom and cardiac sympathetic activity evaluated by MIBG images improved after the beta-blocker therapy more than with the treatment that used ACE inhibitors.  (+info)

Sympathetic nerve alterations assessed with 123I-MIBG in the failing human heart. (2/5911)

Norepinephrine (NE) reuptake function is impaired in heart failure and this may participate in myocyte hyperstimulation by the neurotransmitter. This alteration can be assessed by 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy. METHODS: To determine whether the impairment of neuronal NE reuptake was reversible after metoprolol therapy, we studied 18 patients (43+/-7 y) with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy who were stabilized at least for 3 mo with captopril and diuretics. Patients underwent, before and after 6 mo of therapy with metoprolol, measurements of radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), maximal oxygen consumption and plasma NE concentration. The cardiac adrenergic innervation function was scintigraphically assessed with MIBG uptake and release measurements on the planar images obtained 20 min and 4 h after tracer injection. To evaluate whether metoprolol had a direct interaction with cardiac MIBG uptake and release, six normal subjects were studied before and after a 1-mo metoprolol intake. RESULTS: In controls, neither cardiac MIBG uptake and release nor circulating NE concentration changed after the 1-mo metoprolol intake. Conversely, after a 6-mo therapy with metoprolol, patients showed increased cardiac MIBG uptake (129%+/-10% versus 138%+/-17%; P = 0.009), unchanged cardiac MIBG release and decreased plasma NE concentration (0.930+/-412 versus 0.721+/-0.370 ng/mL; P = 0.02). In parallel, patients showed improved New York Heart Association class (2.44+/-0.51 versus 2.05+/-0.23; P = 0.004) and increased LVEF (20%+/-8% versus 27%+/-8%; P = 0.0005), whereas maximal oxygen uptake remained unchanged. CONCLUSION: Thus, a parallel improvement of myocardial NE reuptake and of hemodynamics was observed after a 6-mo metoprolol therapy, suggesting that such agents may be beneficial in heart failure by directly protecting the myocardium against excessive NE stimulation.  (+info)

Effects of tumour necrosis factor-alpha on left ventricular function in the rat isolated perfused heart: possible mechanisms for a decline in cardiac function. (3/5911)

1. The cardiac depressant actions of TNF were investigated in the isolated perfused rat heart under constant flow (10 ml min(-1)) and constant pressure (70 mmHg) conditions, using a recirculating (50 ml) mode of perfusion. 2. Under constant flow conditions TNF (20 ng ml(-1)) caused an early (< 25 min) decrease in left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), which was maintained for 90 min (LVDP after 90 min: control vs TNF; 110 +/- 4 vs 82 +/- 10 mmHg, P < 0.01). 3. The depression in cardiac function seen with TNF under constant flow conditions, was blocked by the ceramidase inhibitor N-oleoylethanolamine (NOE), 1 microM, (LVDP after 90 min: TNF vs TNF with NOE; 82 +/- 10 vs 11 +/- 5 mmHg, P < 0.05). 4. In hearts perfused at constant pressure, TNF caused a decrease in coronary flow rate (change in flow 20 min after TNF: control vs TNF; -3.0 +/- 0.9 vs -8.7 +/- 1.2 ml min(-1), P < 0.01). This was paralleled by a negative inotropic effect (change in LVDP 20 min after TNF: control vs TNF; -17 +/- 7 vs -46 +/- 6 mmHg, P < 0.01). The decline in function was more rapid and more severe than that seen under conditions of constant flow. 5. These data indicate that cardiac function can be disrupted by TNF on two levels, firstly via a direct, ceramidase dependant negative inotropic effect, and secondly via an indirect coronary vasoconstriction.  (+info)

Stroke volume decline during prolonged exercise is influenced by the increase in heart rate. (4/5911)

This study determined whether the decline in stroke volume (SV) during prolonged exercise is related to an increase in heart rate (HR) and/or an increase in cutaneous blood flow (CBF). Seven active men cycled for 60 min at approximately 57% peak O2 uptake in a neutral environment (i.e., 27 degrees C, <40% relative humidity). They received a placebo control (CON) or a small oral dose (i.e., approximately 7 mg) of the beta1-adrenoceptor blocker atenolol (BB) at the onset of exercise. At 15 min, HR and SV were similar during CON and BB. From 15 to 55 min during CON, a 13% decline in SV was associated with an 11% increase in HR and not with an increase in CBF. CBF increased mainly from 5 to 15 min and remained stable from 20 to 60 min of exercise in both treatments. However, from 15 to 55 min during BB, when the increase in HR was prevented by atenolol, the decline in SV was also prevented, despite a normal CBF response (i.e., similar to CON). Cardiac output was similar in both treatments and stable throughout the exercise bouts. We conclude that during prolonged exercise in a neutral environment the decline in SV is related to the increase in HR and is not affected by CBF.  (+info)

Assessment of cardiac sympathetic regulation by respiratory-related arterial pressure variability in the rat. (5/5911)

1. Mechanical ventilation evokes a corresponding arterial pressure variability (APV) which is decreased by beta-adrenoceptor antagonism. Therefore, in this study we set out to determine whether the respiratory-related APV can be used to assess cardiac sympathetic tone. 2. Computer-generated broad-band mechanical ventilation (0-3 Hz) was applied to Sprague-Dawley rats that had been anaesthetized with ketamine and paralysed with pancuronium. APV and its relationship to lung volume variability (LVV-APV) was systematically quantified with auto- or cross-spectral frequency domain analysis. 3. APV and LVV-APV transfer magnitudes between 0.5 and 1.5 Hz showed dose-dependent suppression by propranolol from 0.01 to 1 mg kg-1, while the static value of arterial pressure remained unchanged. Stroke volume variability, assessed by the use of a pulse contour method, exhibited a similar pattern of suppression by propranolol. In contrast, heart rate variability was not lowered with propranolol. 4. The effect of propranolol on respiratory-related APV persisted even in the presence of combined alpha-adrenoceptor and muscarinic receptor blockade by phentolamine and atropine. 5. The frequency range of 0.5-1.0 Hz was optimal for LVV-APV transfer magnitude to correlate with cardiac sympathetic tone. 6. We conclude that respiratory-related APV may provide a valid assessment of cardiac sympathetic regulation which is independent of parasympathetic and vascular sympathetic influences in ketamine-anaesthetized and positive pressure-ventilated rats.  (+info)

Ryanodine and the left ventricular force-interval and relaxation-interval relations in closed-chest dogs: insights on calcium handling. (6/5911)

OBJECTIVE: Although the myocardial force-interval and relaxation-interval relations are considered to be mechanical expressions of myocardial Ca2+ handling, correlation of these phenomena with altered Ca2+ kinetics in the intact state is limited. Thus, I sought to determine the impact of selective impairment of physiologic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release, achieved by the use of the drug ryanodine, on these relations in the intact animal. METHODS: Twelve dogs instrumented with left ventricular manometers and piezoelectric dimension crystals were studied before and after ryanodine (4 micrograms/kg intravenously). End-systolic elastance was measured at paced heart rates of 120-180 bpm to determine the force-frequency response. Mechanical restitution and relaxation restitution were determined by measuring contractile (single beat elastance) and relaxation (peak negative dP/dt) responses for beats delivered at graded extrasystolic intervals, with normalized responses expressed as a function of extrasystolic interval. RESULTS: Ryanodine accelerated mechanical restitution (time constant 60.3 +/- 3.9 versus 81.7 +/- 10.1 ms, p < 0.05) and reduced maximal contractile response (107.5 +/- 2.1 versus 122.1 +/- 5.7%, p < 0.05), slowed early relaxation restitution (time constant 65.5 +/- 13.8 versus 36.8 +/- 3.8 ms, p < 0.05) without changing late relaxation restitution kinetics, and amplified the force-frequency response (end-systolic elastance, 180 bpm, 19.4 +/- 4.3 versus 11.4 +/- 1.2 mm Hg/ml, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that in the intact animal, Ca2+ handling by the sarcoplasmic reticulum is a primary determinant of mechanical restitution and early relaxation restitution, but not late relaxation restitution. Conversely, ryanodine induced augmentation of the force-frequency response indicates a central role for sarcolemmal Ca2+ influx in producing frequency potentiation.  (+info)

Effect of bolus epinephrine on systemic hemodynamics in canine anaphylactic shock. (7/5911)

OBJECTIVE: Epinephrine (Epi) is considered to be the drug of choice for anaphylactic shock (AS). However, the benefit of this drug on improving systemic hemodynamics in AS has never been shown. We used a canine ragweed model of AS to determine if an intravenous bolus of Epi hastened the recovery of hemodynamics and modified mediator release (Med) compared with no treatment (NT). METHODS: In one protocol (n = 8), the effects on hemodynamics of two intravenous doses of Epi (0.01 and 0.025 mg/kg) were examined for 3 h postshock in respective studies approximately three weeks apart under pentobarbital anesthesia in the same animal. In five other dogs, left ventricular (LV) mechanics were additionally determined by sonomicrometric techniques to determine changes in contractility as defined by the preload recruitable stroke-work (SW) relationship. RESULTS: Compared with NT values, Epi treatments produced only transient increases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac output (CO) post-challenge. By 20 min postshock, CO in the Epi studies were generally lower (p < 0.05) and BP was not different from NT values. With Epi treatment, SW was reduced for a given LV end-diastolic volume compared with the control study. Epi treatments also caused relatively higher plasma thromboxane B2 concentrations postshock. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that, when given immediately postshock, bolus-Epi did not hasten recovery and caused impairment in LV mechanics in canine AS.  (+info)

Study on propionyl-L-carnitine in chronic heart failure. (8/5911)

AIMS: In patients with chronic heart failure, fatigue is independent of haemodynamic and neuroendocrine changes and possibly may be due to impaired muscle metabolism. Propionyl-L-carnitine, a carnitine derivative, was shown in previous studies to improve muscle metabolism. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of propionyl-L-carnitine on exercise capacity in mild moderate chronic heart failure patients, treated with ACE inhibitors and diuretics. METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a phase III, double-blind, randomized, parallel, multicentre study. The primary objective was the evaluation of the effect of propionyl-L-carnitine vs placebo on maximum exercise duration using a bicycle exercise test. The primary analysis performed in the intention-to-treat population (271 and 266 patients in propionyl-L-carnitine and placebo), showed no statistically significant difference between treatments. A difference of 15 s in favour of propionyl-L-carnitine was observed in the completer/complier population (P=0.092). An a priori specified subgroup analysis on patients stratified by baseline maximum exercise duration showed a trend of improvement in propionyl-L-carnitine patients with shorter maximum exercise duration. A non a priori specified analysis in patients stratified by ejection fraction (< or = 30% vs 30-40%), showed a statistically significant difference in maximum exercise duration in favour of propionyl-L-carnitine in those patients with a higher ejection fraction (40 s, P<0.01). There were no safety issues. CONCLUSION: The study fails to meet the primary objective, but confirms the good safety profile of propionyl-L-carnitine. An exploratory non-prespecified analysis suggests that propionyl-L-carnitine improves exercise capacity in patients with preserved cardiac function. This hypothesis needs to be confirmed by a specific tailored study.  (+info)

Pressure-Flow Studies in Man: Effect of Respiration on Left Ventricular Stroke Volume | CirculationPressure-Flow Studies in Man: Effect of Respiration on Left Ventricular Stroke Volume | Circulation
The pressure gradient technique was used to evaluate effects of respiration on left ventricular stroke volume in 22 patients: 11 normal patients; eight patients with airway obstruction; and three patients with pericardial tamponade. In normals, stroke volume, systolic pressure, and pulse pressure fell an average of 7, 3 and 11% (P , 0.01), respectively, during inspiration. In patients with airway obstruction, these parameters decreased by 25, 12 and 23% (P , 0.001), respectively. After breath-holding, stroke volume also fell immediately with the onset of inspiration in both groups. These results are consistent with a reduction in left ventricular filling during inspiration as the factor primarily responsible for the fall in stroke volume. In patients with pericardial tamponade, variations in left ventricular stroke volume, systolic pressure and pulse pressure were related to: (1) an immediate fall in stroke volume with the onset of inspiration; and (2) a subsequent increase in stroke volume ...

We determined whether chronic treatment with nipradilol, a β-blocker with vasodilating action, reduces left ventricular cavity dilation (LV remodeling) following myocardial infarction and improves cardiac performance. Myocardial infarction was produced by coronary artery ligation in 16-week-old female rats and then the rats were treated for 3-4 months with nipradilol (10 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (0.5% carboxymethylcellulose). The effect of nipradilol on LV remodeling was evaluated by assessing the left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI)and passive pressure-volume relation curve. Since LVEDVI depends on the infarct size, LVEDVI was compared between the vehicle and nipradilol-treated rats with similar infarct size (10-40%). At 3-4 months after myocardial infarct production, the left ventricular end-diastolic volume index in the vehicle-treated rats with myocardial infarction was significantly increased, compared with that in the sham-operated rats without infarction. The ...

Prognostication in 3-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease Based on Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction During Exercise | CirculationPrognostication in 3-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease Based on Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction During Exercise | Circulation
Our data indicate that the benefit of CABG among patients with 3-vessel CAD varies directly with the direction and magnitude of ΔLVEF measured before operation. Thus, these data can facilitate management decisions. Although no previous investigators have undertaken this analysis, our data are consistent with and extend those of 2 previous reports in which preoperative LVEF with exercise was used to identify patients likely to benefit from CABG. Jones and coworkers12 found that the concomitant presence of 3-vessel or left main disease and a positive exercise radionuclide angiogram (either ΔLVEF ≤0% or exercise-induced worsening in wall motion or increase in end-systolic volume ,20 mL with exercise) predicted CABG-associated benefit at 3 years among patients with mildly to markedly subnormal LVEF at rest. The prognostic value of the LVEF exercise response was not evaluated among those with 3-vessel disease alone, and the influence of ischemia severity on prognosis was not examined. In a later ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Optimal stroke volume in left-ventricular ejection. AU - Hämäläinen, Jari. PY - 1989. Y1 - 1989. N2 - Optimal value of stroke volume ejected against a given arterial load is studied, i.e. left-ventricular function is described by an optimization model. In the model, end-diastolic volume (V/sub ed/), the linear end-systolic pressure-volume relation, heart rate, and ejection time are given, and arterial load is described by the three-element windkessel model. The cost function of the model takes into account two optimality criteria for ventricular function: energy economy and efficient response to an increase in V/sub ed/. The observed stroke volumes of isolated canine hearts could be predicted quite accurately by the model. It is concluded that the left-ventricular response to a change in arterial load and V/sub ed/ can be explained by an optimization model when contractility and heart rate are kept constant. The results also strongly suggest that energy economy and efficiency ...

PY - 2000. Y1 - 2000. N2 - The causality of mutant sarcomeric proteins in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is well established. The current emphasis is to elucidate the pathogenesis of HCM in transgenic animal models. We determined the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in transgenic mice expressing mutant cardiac troponin T (cTnT)-Q92, known to cause HCM in humans. Transgenes were constructed by placing wild-type (R92) or mutant (Q92) full-length human cTnT cDNAs 3 into a 5.5-kb murine [α-myosin heavy chain (MyHC)] promoter injected into fertilized zygotes. Three wild-type and six mutant lines were produced. ...

Background: We sought to evaluate the additional value of a multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) score in comparison with traditional TIMI (Thromolysis in Myocardial Infarction) score and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) score in prognostic stratification of STEMI patients.. Methods: 209 STEMI patients reperfused by primary PCI underwent TTE and CMR 3 days after the index event. We measured: TIMI score, left ventricle ejection fraction (EFTTE), left ventricle end systolic volume (LVESVTTE) and number of myocardial segment with wall motion abnormalities (WMITTE) measured by TTE, left ventricle ejection fraction (EFCMR), left ventricle end systolic volume (LVESVCMR) and number of myocardial segment with wall motion abnormalities (WMICMR) measured by CMR, myocardial salvage index (MSI) and presence of microvascular obstruction (MVO). The primary clinical endpoint of study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events(MACE) defined as combined endpoint of hospitalization, acute ...

If our observation of incomplete relaxation is of clinical relevance, it would be manifest as a tachycardia-induced reduction in LV end-diastolic volumes. This was indeed observed by Westermann et al. (17), who measured pressure-volume loops in 70 patients after hospital admission for heart failure with a normal ejection fraction. Compared with 20 control subjects, these patients had an increased LV wall thickness, and when paced at 120 beats/min, the LV end-diastolic volume decreased by 28%. In contrast, in control subjects, they found an incremental increase in LV end-diastolic volume. Although the authors could not explain this finding, they argued that this observation may play a substantial role in the development of symptoms in these patients.. The mechanisms underlying diastolic dysfunction in patients with LV hypertrophy are unclear. There are several possible explanations, including an increased mass-to-volume ratio, increased passive stiffness due to changes in collagen and titin, ...

Left ventricular volumes Several studies compared 2D echocardiography and CMR for assessment of left ventricular volumes and LVEF.[5, 11-14] These studies differ in number of included patients, aetiology of heart disease and left ventricular function and volume, but all consistently show underestimation of EDV and ESV by 2D echocardiography compared with CMR. Reported mean differences vary considerably between studies and range from 10 to 94 ml for ESV and from 11 to 131 for EDV.[5, 19] We found the discrepancy between the two imaging modalities to be strongly related to left ventricular volume, with increasing differences in larger hearts. This finding is supported by a smaller study by Gruszczynska et al. in ischaemic heart failure patients.[13] It is further corroborated by the observation that studies in hearts with predominantly (near) normal volumes report lower differences, whereas studies including dilated hearts are at the higher end of the spectrum.[5, 11, 14, 20]. The underestimation ...

The application of a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), the cornerstone of noninvasive ventilation (NIV), causes hemodynamic changes in the cardiovascular system. To understand the benefits of NIV it is necessary to resume concepts of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology about cardiac function determinants, venous return, ventricular interdependence and heart-lung interaction, and to understand how PEEP interacts with them. The hemodynamic effects of PEEP are mediated by the increase in transpulmonary pressure, which results in increased pulmonary vascular resistance and in an attending small reduction of venous return in conditions of euvolemia, in a substantial reduction of left ventricular afterload and a potential positive effect on left ventricular stroke volume ...

Rationale and design of the strain surveillance of chemotherapy for improving cardiovascular outcomes: the SUCCOUR trialRationale and design of the strain surveillance of chemotherapy for improving cardiovascular outcomes: the SUCCOUR trial
OBJECTIVES:This study sought to evaluate the hypothesis that global longitudinal strain (GLS) guidance of cardioprotective therapy would improve cardiac function of at-risk patients undergoing potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy, compared with usual care. BACKGROUND:The conventional criteria for diagnosis of chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) are dependent on the recognition of heart failure symptoms and/or changes in left ventricular ejection fraction. However, the measurement variability of left ventricular ejection fraction necessitates broad diagnostic ranges, with the consequence of low sensitivity for CTRCD. Observational data have shown GLS to be a robust and sensitive marker to predict CTRCD and thereby guide the initiation of cardioprotective therapy, but these data are insufficient to justify changing the diagnostic criteria for CTRCD. METHODS:The SUCCOUR (Strain sUrveillance of Chemotherapy for improving Cardiovascular Outcomes) trial is an international multicenter ...

End systolic volume - DocCheck FlexikonEnd systolic volume - DocCheck Flexikon
The value of the end systolic volume depends on the arterial blood pressure as well as on the force of ventricular contraction. The arterial blood pressure - especially in the large arteries leaving the heart - is not only pressure outwards against the arterial walls but also back pressure against the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve exerted by the arterial blood. An increased arterial blood pressure results in higher end systolic volume because of more afterload (more resistance to the outflow of blood from the ventricles). Contractility of the ventricular muscle can increase (e.g. from increased stimulation of the heart by the sympathetic nervous system), thereby causing more complete ejection of blood from the ventricle and a resultant lower end systolic volume. ...

Robert S. McKelvie, MD, PhD, FRCPC, Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, McMaster University Hamilton, ON.. Heart failure (HF) is usually associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, but approximately 50% of all patients with HF have a preserved ejection fraction. The mortality and morbidity associated with this condition, which may be the most common form of HF in older persons, is substantial and is on the rise. Currently, there are few evidence-based therapies demonstrated to be beneficial for this condition. The usual therapeutic recommendations consist of the aggressive management of the comorbidities and fluid balance associated with this form of HF. Disease management programs may improve outcomes among older persons with HF and preserved ejection fraction ...

Ejection fractionEjection fraction
The ejection fraction is a measurement of the hearts efficiency and can be used to estimate the function of the left ventricle, which pumps blood to the rest of the body.. The left ventricle pumps only a fraction of the blood it contains. The ejection fraction is the amount of blood pumped divided by the amount of blood the ventricle contains. A normal ejection fraction is more than 55% of the blood volume. If the heart becomes enlarged, even if the amount of blood being pumped by the left ventricle remains the same, the relative fraction of blood being ejected decreases. For example:. ...

Do You Know Your Ejection Fraction? - The Womens JournalDo You Know Your Ejection Fraction? - The Womens Journal
While many cardiac patients focus on their cholesterol level as a measuring stick of their cardiovascular health, they may be overlooking an even more important factor influencing long term survival-their ejection fraction. The ejection fraction (EF) is the percentage of volume of blood that is ejected each cardiac cycle. It is easily measured using simple cardiac tests such as an echocardiogram or MUGA scan. A normal EF should be greater than 50%. Patients who have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, an enlarged heart or suffered a heart attack may have a significantly lower EF. The ejection fraction is directly proportional to survival; patients with a lower EF have a poorer prognosis. One of the main reasons for reduced survival is that patients with a low EF (, 35%) are at high risk of dying suddenly from rapid unstable cardiac arrhythmias called ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. These arrhythmias are unpredictable and often result in sudden death. Sudden death ...

Association of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Indicators with Heart Failure | Proceedings of IMPRSAssociation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Indicators with Heart Failure | Proceedings of IMPRS
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway is repeatedly blocked during sleep, resulting in frequent brief awakenings throughout the night. OSA has been found to increase the risk of many cardiovascular diseases, especially heart failure (HF). HF with reduced, preserved, and borderline ejection fraction (HFrEF, HFpEF, and HFbEF) are three subtypes common in OSA patients. The aim of this study is to further explore the relationship between OSA and HF and the influence of specific OSA measures.. Methods: Electronic medical data was collected from health histories, echocardiograms, and polysomnography studies. Observations were sorted into three categories based on left ventricular ejection fraction: HFpEF (n=334), HFrEF (n=77), and HFbEF (n=37). Multinomial logistic regression was then conducted to determine the relative risk of HFpEF and HFrEF from each variable as compared to the baseline HFbEF.. Results: Pacemaker presence, previous stroke, BMI, and a measure of left ...

BACKGROUND Information on the pathophysiological differences between heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) versus heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is needed. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to establish biological pathways specifically related to HFrEF and HFpEF.. METHODS The authors performed a network analysis to identify unique biomarker correlations inHFrEF andHFpEF using 92 biomarkers from different pathophysiological domains in a cohort of 1,544 heart failure (HF) patients. Data were independently validated in 804 patients with HF. Networks were enriched with existing knowledge on protein-protein interactions and translated into biological pathways uniquely related to HFrEF, HF with a midrange ejection fraction, and HFpEF.. RESULTS In the index cohort (mean age 74 years; 34% female), 718 (47%) patients had HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] ,40%) and 431 (27%) patients had HFpEF (LVEF ,= 50%).

To determine the accuracy of visual analysis of left ventricular (LV) function in comparison with the accepted quantitative gold standard method, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Cine CMR imaging was performed at 1.5 T on 44 patients with a range of ejection fractions (EF, 5-80%). Clinicians (n = 18) were asked to visually assess EF after sequentially being shown cine images of a four chamber (horizontal long axis; HLA), two chamber (vertical long axis; VLA) and a short axis stack (SAS) and results were compared to a commercially available analysis package. There were strong correlations between visual and quantitative assessment.

[reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is well-known. Physicians are well versed in diagnosing and treating the disease. At the same time, our knowledge is scarce about heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with mid-ranged ejection fraction (HFmrEF). We are diagnosing these cases in a much lower number than the actual ones, and we have no morbidity and mortality-reducing evidence for treating the disease. The summary is intended to provide an overview of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, morbidity and mortality, treatment options, the importance of the etiological diagnosis and long-term follow- up of HFmrEF and HFpEF based on currently available literature.]

Perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) may improve outcome after high-risk surgery. Minimal invasive measurement of stroke volume variation (SVV) has been recommended to guide fluid therapy. We intended to study how perioperative GDFT with arterial-based continuous SVV monitoring influences postoperative complications in a high-risk surgical population. From February 1st 2012, all ASA 3 and 4 patients undergoing abdominal surgery in two university hospitals were assessed for randomization into a control group or GDFT group. An arterial-line cardiac output monitor was used to measure SVV, and fluid was given after an algorithm in the intervention group. Restrictions of the method excluded patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, patients with atrial fibrillation and patients with severe mitral/aortal stenosis. To detect a decrease in number of complication from 40 % in the control group to 20 % in the GDFT group, n = 164 patients were needed (power 80 %, alpha 0.05, two-sided test). To include

WHAT IS HEART FAILURE? - UKWHAT IS HEART FAILURE? - UK
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive clinical syndrome caused by the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the bodys metabolic needs. HF can result from any disorder that affects the ability of the heart to contract (systolic dysfunction) and relax (diastolic dysfunction). HF with reduced systolic function (i.e., reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF) is referred to as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Preserved LV systolic function (i.e., normal LVEF) with presumed diastolic dysfunction is termed HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF ...

In contrast to the well-described anatomic and echocardiography abnormalities in patients with GSD II, there is surprisingly little information on LV contractile function in GSD II. De Dominicis et al. (10) reported normal ejection fractions (70% and 68%) measured with echocardiography in two 6-mo-old patients. Bulkley and Hutchins (7) also reported a normal ejection fraction (,70%), measured with LV angiography, in a 5-mo-old girl. In two other case reports (children up to 9 mo of age), invasive assessment of LV function using cardiac catheterization demonstrated normal LV filling pressures (2-3 mmHg), in the presence of severe cardiomegaly (12, 15). In another case report (4 mo of age) normal LV hemodynamics and cardiac index were observed, although early diastolic pressure was elevated with a restrictive LV filling pattern (5). In contrast, markedly elevated LV filling pressures (up to 20 mmHg) and a depressed cardiac index (2.44 l· min−1·m−2) were found in a 4-mo-old child (26). In all ...

Ejection fractionEjection fraction
The origin of the term ejection fraction is somewhat obscure.[23] After William Harveys description of the basic mechanism of the circulation in 1628, it was initially assumed that the heart emptied completely during systole.[24] However, in 1856 Chauveau and Faivre[25] observed that some fluid remained in the heart after contraction. This was confirmed by Roy and Adami in 1888.[26] In 1906, Henderson[27] estimated the ratio of the volume discharged in systole to the total volume of the left ventricle to be approximately 2/3. In 1933, Gustav Nylin proposed that the ratio of the heart volume/stroke volume (the inverse of ejection fraction) could be used as a measure of cardiac function.[28] in 1952 Bing and colleagues used a minor modification of Nylins suggestion (EDV/SV) to assess right ventricular function using a dye dilution technique.[29] Exactly when the relationship between end diastolic volume and stroke volume was inverted into its current form is unclear. Holt calculated the ratio ...

However, the mechanisms for development of WRF in the setting of acute HF in HFpEF are unclear. In the present study, we sought to characterize conventional echocardiographic measures of right ventricular (RV) chamber size and function to determine whether RV dysfunction and/or adverse RV remodeling is related to WRF in patients with HFpEF. Our study included 104 adult patients with HFpEF (EF ≥ 55%) with technically adequate 2-dimensional echocardiograms performed during their hospitalization for acute decompensated HF to ...

In 4 normal dogs, a 10-F percutaneous sheath was placed inside the LV along its major axis. An ICE catheter (9 F, 9 MHz) was then inserted through the sheath into the LV. The ICE catheter was pulled back in 1-mm intervals starting from the apex, and 2-D tomographic images were continuously acquired. Subsequently, the ICE catheter was replaced in the LV by a conductance catheter to measure single-beat volume signals. Stroke volume was determined by thermodilution for validation. All measurements were made in each dog while pacing the atrium at two different cycle lengths (range=300-500 ms). The endocardium was segmented in the ICE images throughout the cardiac cycle, and LV volume was computed by ...

Impaired myocardial systolic contraction and diastolic relaxation have been suggested as possible mechanisms contributing to the decreased stroke volume (SV) observed at high altitude (HA). To determine whether intrinsic myocardial performance is a limiting factor in the generation of SV at HA, we assessed left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic mechanics and volumes in 10 healthy participants (aged 32 ± 7; mean ± SD) at rest and during exercise at sea level (SL; 344 m) and after 10 days at 5,050 m. In contrast to SL, LV end-diastolic volume was ∼19% lower at rest (P = 0.004) and did not increase during exercise despite a greater untwisting velocity. Furthermore, resting SV was lower at HA (∼17%; 60 ± 10 vs. 70 ± 8 ml) despite higher LV twist (43%), apical rotation (115%), and circumferential strain (17%). With exercise at HA, the increase in SV was limited (12 vs. 22 ml at SL), and LV apical rotation failed to augment. For the first time, we have demonstrated that EDV does not ...

This is a research study to investigate the effectiveness and safety of a device for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%, symptoms of heart failure and elevated filling pressures on a test called a right heart catheterization may be eligible to enroll. Participation in this multicenter study involves being randomly assigned either to implantation of an Inter Atrial Shunt Device (IASD) System II, or a sham procedure. Participants will be followed by the Tufts Heart Failure Research Team at regular intervals, for a total of 5 years; however they will remain under the care of their usual Cardiologist. The IASD System II consists of a self-expanding metal structure that is placed into the wall between the upper chambers of the heart (right and left atria) to enable blood to move between these chambers. For HFpEF patients with high pressures in the left atrium, it is thought that enabling ...

Diagnostic and Prognostic Use of Myocardial Strain in Patients with Acute Myocardial InfarctionDiagnostic and Prognostic Use of Myocardial Strain in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Evaluation of the degree of myocardial injury as a result of myocardial necrosis in the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may be of clinical importance to guide further revascularisation and add important diagnostic and prognostic information in these patients. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiography during initial hospitalisation is a well-established marker of LV global function and predicts short- and long-term morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, the measurement of LVEF presents a number of challenges related to image quality, assumptions of LV geometry and high observer variability. Measurement of myocardial deformation by strain has emerged as a promising tool to evaluate regional and global function. The aim of this thesis in clinical cardiology was to investigate the ability of strain to predict myocardial necrosis, LV function and clinical cardiac outcome in patients with acute ...

Effect of Plethora and Hemorrhage on Left Ventricular Volume and Pressure | Circulation ResearchEffect of Plethora and Hemorrhage on Left Ventricular Volume and Pressure | Circulation Research
By combining conventional methods for recording pressures from the left ventricle and pleural cavity with a new procedure for estimating end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV) of the left ventricle it was found in the closed-chest dog that plethora increased EDV, ESV and stroke volume while hemorrhage had the opposite effect. There were linear relationships between EDV and ESV, and between EDV and stroke volume. There was little change in left ventricular effective end-diastolic pressure when the EDV changed over a wide range, beginning with the smallest EDV consistent with life; but after a certain large EDV had been reached, large increases in effective end-diastolic pressure were associated with little or no further increase in EDV.. ...

Ejection fraction is an important measurement in the diagnosis and surveillance of HF. However, it is possible for patients with normal ejection fraction to have HF, and this form of the disease, HF with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Also known as diastolic HF, this form of HF is related to aging.
