Example sentences for: ventricularfunction
How can you use “ventricularfunction” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Loss of cardiacmyocytes has been suspected to be a feature of the cardiomyopathicprocess that contributes to progressive decline in left ventricularfunction and the development of congestive heart failure [ 29 ] . Evidence supporting the concept ofmyocyte apoptosis occurrence and contribution in the progressionof heart failure has been obtained from a variety of observations,including in vitro studies, experimental animal modelsof cardiac dysfunction, and studies on cardiac tissue obtainedfrom patients with end-stage heart failure [ 5 7 8 9 29 ] .
Carvedilol Inhibition of Apoptosis and Improvement of VentricularFunction
This observation represents animportant finding in demonstrating the effectiveness of a cardiovasculardrug to protect against continual cardiac myocyte apoptosis in failinghearts in vivo . Furthermore, the inhibition of apoptosisby carvedilol was accompanied by signs of improvement in left ventricularfunction and heart size (i.e.
, carteolol, had normal calcium cycling, normal myocardial energetics,normal β 1 receptor density as well as regression of myocytehypertrophy and reduced connective tissue content [ 18 ] . Furthermore, administration of carteolol hasbeen reported to prevent the development of virally induced cardiomyopathyin a murine model [ 25 ] . In a canine modelwith left ventricular dysfunction produced by multiple sequentialintracoronary microembolizations, long term treatment with metoprolol,a β 1 -selective blocker, has been reported to preventthe progression of LV systolic dysfunction and LV chamber dilatation [ 26 ] . Similarly, our present findings onthe effect of carvedilol indicated improvement of left ventricularfunction and smaller LV volumes.
