BACKGROUND: The ability to predict recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in response to guideline-directed therapy among patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy is desired. We sought ...

The "potential" approach is based on targeting a characteristic low frequency electrical potential signature of the SP from the endocardium, also known as "slow potentials." A combined approach ...

Endocarditis is an infection usually caused by bacteria that results in inflammation of the heart’s inner lining (endocardium). Most people with endocarditis develop a fever, and many also have ...

Case 1 (M.H. 84237). R.B., a 69-year-old man, had had total atrioventricular dissociation for eleven years before surgery, with an idioventricular rate of 28 per minute. He had had several Stokes ...

patent ductus arteriosus or on the mural endocardium. As placement of intracardiac devices has become more common, infective lesions may also be found on valvular prostheses, pacemaker leads and ...

Auto-tracking with manual adjustment was done to ensure optimal tracking. The tracing of RV/RA endocardium was done with 15 points using the tricuspid valve annulus as a reference. The impact of ...

The A-FLUX Reducer System is engineered with SwiftCell Technology™, a small-cell proprietary design based on computational modeling, to redistribute oxygen supply to the sub-endocardium layer of the ...

Symptoms of left-sided heart failure can include chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, and leg swelling. They can be similar to other medical conditions and, early on, even go unnoticed. When the ...

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the term used to describe what happens when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. (It should not be confused with cardiac arrest in which ...
