Domaine(s)
  • Système cardio-vasculaire

Spanish

Record 2 2008-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Heart
DEF

A wall forming part of the left and right ventricles in the apical region.

CONT

Echocardiography revealed a substantial reduction in global left ventricular function(ejection fraction 20%), with dyskinesia of the apical and distal anterior walls, and akinesia of the anterior interventricular septum and lateral wall.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cœur
DEF

Paroi formant en partie les ventricules droit et gauche au niveau de l'apex.

CONT

Dans ce cadre, nous rapportons 9 observations d'anomalie de contraction segmentaire du VD [ventricule droit] objectivées par ciné-IRM [imagerie par résonance magnétique] : dyskinésie de la paroi antérieure distale (2), de la paroi inféro-basale (2), de l'infudibulum (2); akinésie infundibulaire (2) et inféro-apicale (1).

OBS

Le ventricule est limité par trois parois : - une paroi antérieure (sterno-costale) - une paroi inférieure (diaphragmatique) - une paroi interne (septale).

Record 3 2000-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cardiovascular System
CONT

In this project, methods are developed for quantification of left ventricular function from magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the heart.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système cardio-vasculaire
CONT

Si le plus souvent, la fonction ventriculaire gauche est normale au repos, quelques cas de cardiomyopathie dilatée et/ou de dysfonction ventriculaire gauche sévère ont été rapportés comme manifestations cliniques principales de la DM [dystrophie myotonique].

Record 4 1998-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
CONT

The cardiac function in five patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia(CPEO) was evaluated. Carotid pulse recording and echocardiography showed a left ventricular systolic dysfunction in two patients.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitements non chirurgicaux
DEF

Courbe obtenue par l'enregistrement externe des pulsations ou des variations de pression de l'artère carotide.
