Article Synopsis
- Complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) leads to uneven heart contractions and affects heart efficiency, showing a noticeable clockwise rotation of the left ventricle in affected patients.
- The study aimed to measure this "longitudinal rotation" in CLBBB patients versus those with normal heart function or complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB).
- Results indicated that CLBBB patients exhibited a significantly greater clockwise rotation compared to the other groups, with this rotation correlating to the duration of the QRS complex but not linked to heart function decline.*
Background: Diastolic dysfunction (DDFx) is the major underlying mechanism of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Yet, the echocardiographic diagnosis of DDFx in patients in sinus rhythm is challenging and up to 25% of studies have discrepant measures making assessment of DDFx indeterminate. We aimed to describe the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of patients with indeterminate diastolic function compared to patients with definite normal and abnormal diastolic function.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction requires evidence of grade 2 or 3 (advanced) diastolic dysfunction (ADD), but many patients with ADD do not have clinical HF manifestations, hence termed pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction (PDD). The prevalence and characteristics of PDD in comparison to overt HF disease (clinical-ADD) are still debated.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 373 patients with LVEF≥45% and ADD in our echo-lab database.
