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?
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 a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
When was the left ventricular assist device invented?
1982
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 type of blood is located you the left side of the heart?
Ventricular
What does the medical abbreviation LVF mean?
Left Ventricular Failure
What does the medical abbreviation LVH mean?
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
