@entity1002 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of @entity326 , but little is known about its natural history, cause, and prognostic significance. Left ventricular performance was assessed by serial radionuclide and hemodynamic studies in 35 @entity1 with culture-proven @entity326 . The mean age (+/- S.D.) of the group was 64 +/- 18 years; 16 of the subjects were @entity1 , and 15 had antecedent @entity299 . On the first study, the left @entity64 work index was depressed in 33 (94%) @entity1 , and nineteen (54%) had a left ventricular ejection fraction less than 0.48. Twenty-two (63%) of the @entity1 had segmental and four had generalized wall motion abnormalities. Conventional hemodynamic parameters were of no value in predicting the @entity1 who had a depressed left ventricular ejection fraction or @entity1347 . @entity1 with underlying @entity299 had a much higher frequency (87%) of @entity4148 than those without underlying @entity299 (45%; p = 0.016), but no differences were noted in the left ventricular ejection fraction or left @entity64 work index of these two groups. @entity1347 and low ejection fractions were seen more often in @entity1 with a large left ventricular end-diastolic volume index. Only five subjects had a systemic vascular resistance index greater than 2580 dynes X sec X cm-5 per m2, and the correlation between systemic vascular resistance index and left ventricular ejection fraction was poor. No difference was found in the mean coronary perfusion pressure of those with @entity1347 and those with normal wall motion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
