Abstract
We evaluated short-term effects of partial ventriculectomy on left ventricular (LV) parameters and its impact on late survival by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Twenty patients and 10 normal volunteers were studied, and LV volumes (EDV, ESV), ejection fraction (EF), short- and long-axis dimensions (SA, LA), wall thickness (Wth), shape (LA/SA), geometry (Wth/SA), a geometry index (Phi), and wall-motion score index (WMSI) were evaluated pre- and postoperatively. Also, we compared results and survival of patients with preoperative EF <or=17% vs. EF >17%. Short-term results showed significant changes (P < 0.001) in: EF (17.3 +/- 7.3% vs. 30.4 +/- 9.5%), EDV (391.9 +/- 118 vs. 272.7 +/- 90 mL); ESV (308.2 +/- 102.8 vs. 190.3 +/- 68.4 mL); SA (80.5 +/- 10.4 vs. 71.7 +/- 7.8 mm); LA/SA (1.13 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.34 +/- 0.1); Wth (8.35 +/- 0.99 vs. 9.75 +/- 1.41 mm); Wth/SA (0.10 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.14 +/- 0.02), diastolic( 0.80 +/- 0.16 vs. 0.58 +/- 0.13) and systolic (0.78 +/- 0.18 vs. 0.55 +/- 0.12) Phi; and WMSI (-2 vs. -1) (P = 0.032). The EF division showed differences in: LA/SA (1.26 +/- 0.10 vs. 1.49 +/- 0.12) (P < 0.001); Wth/SA (0.13 +/- 0.02 vs. 0.15 +/- 0.02) (P = 0.023); diastolic (0.65 +/- 0.11 vs. 0.48 +/- 0.11) and systolic (0.6...Continue Reading
