Abstract :

Sub Clinical Ventricular Dysfunction (SCVD) or Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (ALVD) is a precursor of heart failure and cardiovascular deaths. Risk factors of progression of ALVD are elderly, male, coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Both ACE inhibitors and ß-blockers could limit the progression of ALVD and reduced the risk of mortality and hospitalization. Roles of digoxin and aldosterone antagonists remained undefined in this population. Prophylactic therapy with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) could be reasonable in patients with post-myocardial infarction. Control of risk factors and comorbid conditions could slow down progression to overt heart failure. Therefore, early identification of ALVD through screening is of paramount importance.
