Early detection of
left ventricular remodeling
Tom Hendriks
1. Daily tobacco smoking significantly impairs cardiac systolic function in healthy subjects (this thesis)
2. Systolic blood pressure is causally related to increased left ventricular mass and global radial strain (this thesis)
3. After a large myocardial infarction, left ventricular ejection fraction is underestimated by transthoracic echocardiography (this thesis)
4. Left ventricular restoration devices could be beneficial early after myocardial infarction in patients at risk of severe left ventricular remodeling (this thesis)
5. Indexation of cardiac volumes using lean body mass and the R-R interval reduces interindividual variation and makes it easier to detect pathologic dimensions (this thesis) 6. The use of artificial intelligence for image analysis improves accuracy and reproducibility,
and should soon be widely implemented in daily clinical practice (this thesis)
7. Left ventricular strain should have replaced left ventricular ejection fraction as the most commonly used measure of systolic function years ago
8. Assumption is the mother of all fuckups (Under Siege 2: Dark Territory).
