Author(s): Hilfan AP Lubis*, Manoefris Kasim, Elen Sahara and Celly A Atmadikoesoemah
Background: Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (LVESV) is one of the parameters to assess left ventricular function other than ejection fraction. The LVESV value is an indicator of remodelling after myocardial necrosis and has been shown to have prognostic value in post-infarction patients. Research on the relationship between end systolic volume and mortality or major cardiovascular events has been carried out in post-infarction patients. Similar studies in the population of stable angina pectoris have not been widely carried out. Objective: To determine the prognostic role of LVESV in predicting major cardiovascular events (MACE) and determine the median LVESV value that can predict MACE in patients with stable CHD. Research methods: The study was conducted using a retrospective cohort method on 103 stable CHD patients without .. Read More»
