A third heart sound (S3) is often present, due to increased early diastolic filling into a compliant, dilated left ventricle. Acute aortic regurgitation will cause a very short, early diastolic ...

scar-related VT also occurs in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathies, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and surgically repaired congenital heart disease. Scars can be ...

With acute mitral regurgitation, the left ventricle cannot adequately compensate and the left atrium is relatively non-compliant and non-dilated; symptoms, usually severe, always occur.

Intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants can lead to posthemorrhagic ventricular dilation (PVHD), a serious complication that puts infants at high risk of severe disabilities. A new ...

and low ejection fraction associated with mild left ventricular dilation, among other signs of heart dysfunction. Transmission electron micrographs of myocardial biopsies from two of these ...

Researchers analyzed echocardiographic reports of 792 adult patients with moderate or severe AFMR, dilated left atrium, and ...

Illustrative cases demonstrating how change in heart rate can affect transient ischemic dilation (TID) ratios. (a) Low-risk left ventricular perfusion pattern (equivocal in the posterobasal ...
