Differential Phenotype Profile between Main Right Ventricular Chamber and Outflow Tract in Chronic Pulmonary Hypertension: Echocardiographic Observation

Objectives: Right ventricular (RV) dilatation and systolic dysfunction are known remodeling changes occurring in chronic pulmonary hypertension and are likely the result of increases in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). It remains unclear whether PVR affects primarily the main RV chamber (mRVc) or the RV outflow tract (RVOT). Methods: Standard echocardiography…

Evaluation of the Effects of Obesity on Heart Functions Using Standard Echocardiography and Pulsed Wave Tissue Doppler Imaging

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate abnormalities in right and left ventricular function in older obese patients with no left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Design: Subjects with normal coronary angiography were included in this study. They were divided into two groups according to their body mass index (BMI): Group I =…

Reversible Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Patients with HIV Infection.

Human immunodeficiency virus-related cardiomyopathy is characterized by global left ventricular (LV) dysfunction commonly associated with biventricular dilation. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cardiomyopathy carries a poor prognosis, and the role of antiretroviral therapy in the reversal of heart failure is not very clear. We report two patients with HIV infection who…
