To investigate the association between preoperative left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) and whole-body insulin sensitivity during cardiac surgery.
No correlation was found between EesSB and left ventricular ejection fraction and between Ea/EesSB ratio and mixed venous oxygen saturation in septic shock patients.
Our second, somewhat confirmatory, finding was the significant positive correlation between QTVI and left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with CHF, 10 whereas, in healthy control subjects, all repolarization variability parameters showed a significant relation only with age.
A distinction is made between diastolic HF (preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)) and systolic HF (reduced LVEF).
Zucallà et al. [ 20] observed a linear relationship between MMSE scores and left ventricular ejection fraction rates for values lower than 40%.
There was neither a significant correlation between galectin-3 levels and left ventricular ejection fraction nor etiology of HF.
There are no significant differences between the two groups regarding age, left ventricular ejection fraction, preoperative therapy and the number of right and left coronary stenoses.
Moreover, for the endpoints of cardiovascular mortality or HF, no interaction was observed between OPG levels and access to left ventricular ejection fraction determination.
Left ventricular ejection fraction measurements between survivors and non-survivors were not significantly different.
Comparison between quartiles revealed significant differences in age, left ventricular ejection fraction, body mass index, smoking status, hypertension, family history, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, serum triglycerides and creatinine, medical history, number of medication, diuretics and statins use.
