Glucose insulin potassium infusion improves systolic function in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy
2002
Objective: We assessed the effects of glucose–insulin–potassium (GIK) by echocardiography in stable patients with ischemic dysfunction. Methods: Twelve male patients with stable coronary disease (SCD) and ejection fraction (EF) <45% were studied for systolic function. GIK (glucose 30%, 300 insulin units and KCl 6 g/l) was infused at 1 ml/kg per h over 20 min. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic measurements were recorded at rest (T0), at the end (20 min) of GIK infusion (T + 20), 20 and 40 min after the end of the infusion (T + 40 and T + 60). Results: At T + 20, a significant decrease in WMSI (wall motion score index) was observed compared with T0 (2.16±0.14 vs. 2.30±0.16: P<0.05). An increa…
MR imaging of the heart in patients after myocardial infarction: effect of increasing intersection gap on measurements of left ventricular volume, ej…

International audience; Abstract: PURPOSE: To determine the extent to which the number of planes imaged at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging could be reduced without modifying the volume and thickness of the left ventricle. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-one patients were examined after a myocardial infarction. The whole left ventricle was imaged by using 5-mm contiguous breath-hold cine MR short-axis sections with no gap (SA(ng)) (two-dimensional fast low-angle shot sequence, 9/4.8 [repetition time msec/echo time msec]). The effect of omitting in two (short-axis sections with 5-mm gap [SA(5mm)]) or two sections in three(short-axis sections with 10-mm gap [SA(10mm)]) was studied. RESULTS: In th…
IMPAIRMENT OF DIASTOLIC FUNCTION DURING SHORT-TERM ANTHRACYCLINE CHEMOTHERAPY
1995
International audience; Abstract: Objective-To assess the early changes in left ventricular diastolic and systolic function due to anthracycline treatment. Design-A prospective study of cardiac function by radionuclide angiography in adults before and one month after the end of anthracycline treatment. Patients-60 patients without cardiac disease treated with chemotherapy containing anthracycline. Methods-Cardiac function was assessed by radionuclide measurement throughout treatment. Ejection fraction, peak ejection rate, time to peak ejection rate, filling rate, and time to peak filling rate were measured before and after treatment, To normalise radionuclide measurements of the left ventri…
