Primary diastolic failure is typically seen in patients with hypertensive or valvular heart disease as well as in hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy but can also occur in a variety of clinical disorders, especially tachycardia and ischemia. Diastolic dysfunction has a particularly high prevalence in elderly patients and is generally associated,

Need for Speed: The Importance of Physiological Strain Rates in Determining Myocardial Stiffness
The heart is viscoelastic, meaning its compliance is inversely proportional to the speed at which it stretches. During diastolic filling, the left ventricle rapidly expands at rates where viscoelastic forces impact ventricular compliance.

The significant coronary tortuosity and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease; What is the relation? [PDF]
Introduction: Although coronary tortuosity is relatively common in coronary angiograms, there is much debate over the significance of this anatomical variation.

Inorganic phosphate accelerates cardiac myofilament relaxation in response to lengthening
Myocardial relaxation in late systole is enhanced by increasing velocities of lengthening. Given that inorganic phosphate (Pi) can rebind to the force-producing myosin enzyme prior to MgADP release and hasten crossbridge detachment, we hypothesized that ...

STUDY OF THE DIFFERENCES IN THE ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE VALUES IN HEALTHY PEOPLE MEASURED SIMULTANEOUSLY ON LEFT AND RIGHT ARMS [PDF]
Arterial blood pressure measurement constitutes a fundamental aspect of nursing practice. The clinical significance of this measurement lies in its ability to assess systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which serve as crucial indicators of ...
