Chagas cardiomyopathy: The potential effect of benznidazole treatment on diastolic dysfunction and cardiac damage in dogs chronically infected with Trypanosoma cruzi
2016, Acta TropicaCitation Excerpt :These later findings are in agreement with the definition of diastolic dysfunction, which is the inability to accept blood flow at all or an inability to do so without a compensatory increase in left atrial pressure (Stauffer and Gaasch, 1990). The reduction of E’ (SIV and LAT) reflects impaired myocardial relaxation, whereas the growth of the E/E’ ratio reflects the elevation of the left ventricular filling pressure (Dokainish, 2007). The lower E’ velocity and the lengthening of the E/E’ ratio according to the worsening of cardiomyopathy dysfunction were in agreement with the increase in fibrosis and the progression of heart inflammation in the experimental dogs evaluated in this work, as well as with the stratification of heart dysfunction in chagasic patients demonstrated in other work (Nascimento et al., 2013; Garcia-Alvarez et al., 2010).
Impact of bariatric surgery on N-terminal fragment of the prohormone brain natriuretic peptide and left ventricular diastolic function
2013, Canadian Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Moreover, no study had used such an integrated approach to document the controversial issue of NT-proBNP levels in severely obese subjects. The inverse association between natriuretic peptides and BMI has been documented.18,19 Increased renal extraction of NT-proBNP may be one hypothetical mechanism since obesity is characterized by glomerular hyperfiltration.20
Heart Failure With Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
2009, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :In the previously mentioned study by Melenovsky et al. (19), however, the area under the receiver-operator characteristic curve for the E/E′ ratio (averaged from medial and lateral annulus) for the prediction of HFNEF (defined as a history of pulmonary edema and LVEF >50%) was only 0.69. Values for E′ at the lateral annulus are generally higher than at the medial annulus, resulting in lower E/E′ ratios at the lateral annulus (59). Thus, E/E′ cutoffs derived from studies using the medial or the lateral annulus are not directly comparable.
Myocardial strain may predict exercise tolerance in patients with reduced and mid-range ejection fraction
2018, Hellenic Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Additionally, mean global strain at peak was the only parameter that was significantly correlated to changes in NT-proBNP levels. BNP is released by the ventricles under myocytic stretch and may indicate the presence of increased LV filling pressure, which is an important cause of exercise intolerance.23–25 Moreover, echocardiographic strain has significant prognostic impact.26
