“…In patients without signs of ischemia, only the atrial emptying index was related to exercise capacity. This is consistent with other studies that have failed to demonstrate significant correlations between EF, or systemic hemodynamics and exercise capacity [1,[18][19][20]. In agreement with our results, other studies have indicated the importance of diastolic function for exercise performance after an acute myocardial infarction [21,22].…”

We evaluated the power of measurements of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function for predicting exercise capacity in 97 young male survivors of a myocardial infarction. The patients were evaluated with M-mode echocardiography, a symptom-limited exercise test and coronary and LV angiography. In univariate analyses, maximum exercise workload was most closely related to the atrial emptying index, an index of diastolic function (r = 0.37, p < 0.005), but not to LV ejection fraction (r = 0.001, NS). This relationship was stronger in the 42 patients without signs of ischemia during exercise (r = 0.51, p < 0.005). Multivariate analyses indicated that the atrial emptying index (p < 0.005) provided independent contribution to the prediction of maximum exercise capacity. LV diastolic function but not LV systolic function was related to exercise capacity in young survivors of myocardial infarction.

“…Analysis of myocardial impairment ith echo-Doppler cardiography is one of the most used because it is a noninvasive examination, inexpensive, and easy to perform. Left ventricular ejection fraction and diastolic diameter used in the present sample are variables routinely used in the anatomical-functional and prognostic evaluation of patients with congestive heart failure, but nonetheless, are subject to criticism [12][13][14][15][16] . In clinical experience, it is evident that patients with larger ventricular dilation and smaller ejection fraction have a worse prognosis; however, it is not uncommon for patients with important compromise to have irrelevant clinical repercussion over a long evolutionary period.…”

or = 105mmHg had longer survival (p=0.002, p=0.01 and p=0.0007, respectively). Patients with diastolic blood pressure sleep decrements (dip) and patients with mean blood pressure dip <=6mmHg had longer survival (p=0.04 and p=0.01, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, SBPs was the only variable with an odds ratio of 7.61 (CI: 1.56; 3704) (p=0.01). Patients with mean SBP<105mmHg were 7.6 times more likely to die than those with SBP > or = 105 mmHg CONCLUSION: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring appears to be a useful method for evaluating patients with congestive heart failure.]]>

“…The échocardio graphie study was performed as previously recommended [9]. Special attention was devoted to the presence of left ventricular apical aneu rysm [10]. Patients with asymptomatic or symptomatic left ventricu lar dysfunction were given digitalis and angiotensin-converting en zyme inhibitors (captopril or enalapril).…”

Predictors of Sudden Cardiac Death for Patients with Chagas’ Disease: A Hospital-Derived Cohort Study

et al. 1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study was carried out to identify patients with Chagas’ disease at risk of sudden cardiac death, inasmuch as such patients have not been recognized thus far. Seventy-four consecutive patients with a positive complement fixation test for Chagas’ disease prospectively followed up at the Cardiomyopathy Clinic from January 1990 to June 1993 were entered into the study. Patients underwent medical history, physical examination, serological tests, resting electrocardiography, chest X-ray and two-dimensional echocardiography. Eighteen of 74 (24%) patients died during the study period, 8 (10%) suddenly and 10 (14%) from pump failure. Sudden death comprised 44% of total deaths. In the univariate model, cardiomegaly in the chest X-ray, left ventricular systolic and diastolic dimension, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial dimension and apical aneurysm as detected echocardiographically, and systolic blood pressure were associated with sudden cardiac death. In the multivariate model, however, apical aneurysm and left ventricular diastolic dimension were retained as predictors of sudden cardiac death. We conclude that chagasic patients with apical aneurysm and left ventricular dilation are at risk of sudden cardiac death.
