Zur Frage der Beziehungen zwischen enddiastolischem Ventrikeldruck unddp/dt bzw.d 2 p/dt 2 der Ventrikeldruckkurve des Herzens
1969
Correlations between left ventricular enddiastolic pressure of the heart and first and second derivation of left ventricular pressure curve (dp/dt, d2p/dt2 respectively) were examined at various hemodynamic conditions. The results showed only a particular dependence ofdp/dt andd2p/dt2 from enddiastolic pressure. Therefore, it is concluded, that enddiastolic pressure is not the most important factor, which influences the dynamics of ventricular contraction.
Does the origin of ablated premature ventricular contractions determine the level of left ventricular function improvement?

Background: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are associated with tachycardiomyopathy and high mortality rate. The treatment depends on the engaged ventricle. For PVCs originating from the right outflow tract (OT), radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is recommended (class IB‑R recommendation) in preference to pharmacotherapy. In those originating from the left ventricle, ablation is a class IIa B‑NR recommendation. Aims: The aim of the study was to assess the success of RFCA of PVCs based on arrhythmia origin. Methods: A total of 110 consecutive patients with monomorphic PVCs referred for ablation were enrolled and divided according to the site of ablation to the OT group and th…
