Sentence examples for left ventricular work from inspiring English sources

Arterial distensibility decreases with age and atherosclerosis leading to increased pulse pressure (PP) and increased left ventricular work, resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy, a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity.

In other studies with obese rats, stroke volume, left ventricular work and cardiac output decreased significantly after food restriction [ 12].

This decompression results in decreased left ventricular work, reduces myocardial damage, improves chamber compliance, and favors "reverse remodeling" by improving left ventricular geometry [ 9].

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump- (IABP-) support improves coronary blood flow by augmenting systemic and coronary diastolic blood pressure and increases cardiac index by reducing left ventricular work [ 1, 3].

Pexcess is representative of the excess left ventricular work required above the minimum to eject blood into the aorta and the Pexcess waveform has been shown to correspond closely with the flow velocity waveform [ 10, 11, 13, 26].

Left ventricular work index (LVWI) (kg-m/min × m²), cardiac power index (CPI) (W/m²), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) (dyne s/cm/m²) were computed by substituting CO with CI in the respective formulas.

A left bundle branch block pattern with a low amplitude of the QRS complex could be due to uncoupling in the left ventricular working myocardium, caused by reduced expression or misalignment of connexins during left ventricular hypertrophy, and cardiac resynchronization therapy could be detrimental in those patients [ 43].

Common formulae allow us to calculate further determinants of the cardiovascular system (e.g. systemic vascular resistance, pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular stroke work, and left ventricular stroke work).

While its exact mechanism remains unknown, the trial showed that β-blockade could make the heart more efficient, as evidenced by improved stroke work index and left ventricular stroke work [68].

While its exact mechanism remains unknown, the trial showed that β-blockade could make the heart more efficient, as evidenced by improved stroke work index and left ventricular stroke work [ 68].

The cardiac index (CI), right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI), and left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI) were measured before sternotomy, 15 min and 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 hours after CPB.
