Left Ventricular dysfunction-A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall.
What else can I help you with?
What is homogeneous left ventricular myocardial perfusion?
Homogeneous left ventricular myocardial perfusion refers to a uniform distribution of blood flow throughout the left ventricle's myocardium during the cardiac cycle. This ideal state indicates that all regions of the heart muscle receive an adequate and equal supply of oxygen and nutrients, which is crucial for optimal cardiac function. Disruptions in this perfusion pattern can lead to areas of ischemia or reduced blood flow, potentially resulting in heart-related conditions. Evaluating myocardial perfusion is essential in diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular diseases.
When does most of coronary artery perfusion occur?
ventricular diastole after the aortic valve has closed.
What is the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
What is normal perfusion?
Well pulse pressure is systolic (top) minus diastolic (bottom). So the value you get should be between 30-49 to be normal.
What are nursing diagnosis for Cor Pulmonale?
Impaired Gas Exchanged related to perfusion problem Decreased cardiac output related ventricular inefficiency
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, in left ventricular hypertrophy, the apical beat may be shifted laterally and inferiorly due to the increase in left ventricular mass and displacement of the apex by the hypertrophied myocardium.
What is small perfusion defect of the lv apex and distal anterior for chest wall attenuation?
A small perfusion defect of the left ventricular (LV) apex and distal anterior wall, observed in a myocardial perfusion study, suggests reduced blood flow to these areas, which could indicate ischemia or infarction. The mention of "chest wall attenuation" refers to the phenomenon where the overlying chest wall tissues absorb or scatter the imaging signal, potentially obscuring the true myocardial perfusion status. This attenuation can lead to misinterpretation of the defect, emphasizing the importance of correlating imaging findings with clinical context and possibly utilizing additional imaging modalities for accurate diagnosis.
When was the left ventricular assist device invented?
1982
What is a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
What are the risks of a misfire of the left ventricle?
The risk of left ventricular misfire is a left ventricular free wall rupture. A misfire in either the right or the left ventricle of the heart is an electrical problem with the circuitry. These conditions are usually treated through angioplasty.
What causes QRS complex to reverse?
left ventricular contraction
What does the medical abbreviation LVF mean?
Left Ventricular Failure
