Sentence examples for a marker of left from inspiring English sources

Echocardiographic endpoints included LVEF, left ventricular mass index (a marker of left ventricular hypertrophy), mean interventricular septal thickness, and mitral inflow parameters (lateral E/E′, isovolumic relaxation time) measured via Doppler echocardiography.

However, Nt-proBNP, a marker of left ventricular function, was not correlated with infarct size, which might be explained by stunning of potentially vital myocardium.

The average peak-to-peak distance and maximum velocity over the six consecutive systolic cycles were used to measure heart rate and peak velocity, with the latter being a marker of left ventricular contractility [14].

The aim of the present study was thus to evaluate the reliability of CFI as a marker of left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with cardiogenic shock.

Serum levels of AGEs in type 1 diabetic patients are associated with isovolumetric relaxation time of the left ventricle, as a marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction [ 27].

BNP is a marker of left ventricular dysfunction and elevated levels are risk markers for cardiovascular diseases, in particular for heart failure [ 6].

Background: Plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide is a sensitive marker of left ventricular dysfunction and the level is markedly elevated in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

CFI, a surrogate marker of left ventricular function, did not decrease, suggesting no change in this index, whereas the decrease in arterial pressure was not related to α-receptors [ 21].

In the present study, multiple regression analysis revealed that systolic BP was an independent predictor of QT dispersion and Tpeak-Tend (Table  2), and an ECG marker of left ventricular mass (V1S + V5R) tended to be higher in diabetic patients.
