Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular dyssynchrony acutely after myocardial infarction predicts left ventricular remodeling

TL;DR: Left ventricular dyssynchrony immediately after acute myocardial infarction predicts LV remodeling at 6-month follow-up, and multivariable analysis demonstrated that LV dyss synchrony was superior in predicting LV remodelling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ablation of focal atrial arrhythmia in patients with congenital heart defects after surgery: Role of circumscribed areas with heterogeneous conduction

TL;DR: Catheter ablation directed at "source isolation" is effective in eliminating focal atrial tachycardia in patients with surgically corrected CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of diastolic function by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

TL;DR: With the advent of real-time imaging and automated analysis of myocardial strains, CMR tagging is a promising method to assess regional diastolic function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of viability, ischemia, scar tissue, and revascularization on outcome after aborted sudden death.

TL;DR: In patients with aborted sudden death, extensive scar tissue and severely depressed LVEF are the only predictors of death or recurrent ventricular arrhythmias and these patients should be considered for implantation of a defibrillator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular remodeling early after aortic valve replacement: differential effects on diastolic function in aortic valve stenosis and aortic regurgitation.

TL;DR: Early after AVR, patients with aortic valve stenosis show a decrease in both LVMI and LVMI/LVEDVI and an improvement in diastolic filling, whereas in patients withAortic regurgitation, LVMI decreases less rapidly than LVEDVI, causing concentric remodeling of the LV, most likely explaining the observed deterioration of diastolics filling in these patients.
