CHRONIC HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED LEFT VENTRICLE EJECTION FRACTION (HFPEF) AND RIGHT VENTRICLE INVOLVEMENT IN PATIENTS WITH NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION; A SMALL OBSERVATIONAL STUDY: RELEVANCE OF THE PROBLEM, DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH, ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF RIGHT VENTRICLE.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) affects over 6.5 million adults in the U.S., with more than 50% of patients having preserved left ventricle ejection fraction (HFpEF), but the role of right ventricle (RV) dysfunction in these patients is not well understood.
- The study analyzed 26 HFpEF patients, dividing them into groups with normal sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation, and assessed various RV functions through transthoracic ultrasound.
- Results indicated that none of the echocardiographic parameters effectively marked RV function in HFpEF patients, with the exception of the Right Ventricular Index of Myocardial Performance (RIMP), which
Introduction: Assessing the quality of life serves as a crucial metric during various therapeutic or surgical procedures. The rise in cardiac electronic device implantations in recent years underscores the significance of evaluating the quality of life among such patients.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a study focusing on the quality of life of 438 patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter-defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices).

View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe report a case of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), discovered by chance during the cardiac electronic device placement procedure. PLSVCs are congenital anomalies of the thoracic vasculature, during which remnants of the left superior vena cava drain into the right atrium through the coronary sinus. PLSVCs can vary in their location and overall anatomy.
