Diastolic Dysfunction

Cardiology in Review, 1998
The pumping function of the left ventricle depends both on its ability to empty and its capacity to fill at a low pressure. Diastolic dysfunction occurs when filling of the left ventricle necessary to produce an adequate cardiac output requires an elevated pulmonary venous pressure.

Diastolic Ventricular Interaction and Ventricular Diastolic Filling

Heart Failure Reviews, 2000
Because the ventricles share a common septum, the filling of one may influence the compliance of the other, a phenomenon known as direct diastolic ventricular interaction (DVI). This interaction is markedly enhanced when the force exerted by the surrounding pericardium is raised (pericardial constraint). In health, in the resting state, we operate near

Early diastolic overinflation in diastolic mitral regurgitation

Journal of Echocardiography, 2012
An 81-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnea at our hospital. An electrocardiogram was recorded, which showed 2:1 atrioventricular (AV) block. Transthoracic 2-dimensional echocardiography showed that the left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and wall motion were normal. Color Doppler echocardiography showed no significant valvular heart disease.

A modified Holzapfel-Ogden law for a residually stressed finite strain model of the human left ventricle in diastole

open access: yesBiomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2013
In this work, we introduce a modified Holzapfel-Ogden hyperelastic constitutive model for ventricular myocardium that accounts for residual stresses, and we investigate the effects of residual stresses in diastole using a magnetic resonance imaging ...

Self‐Healing Yet Strong Actuator Materials with Muscle‐Like Diastole and Contraction via Multilevel Relaxations

Advances in Materials
Skeletal muscles represent a role model in soft robotics featuring agile locomotion and incredible mechanical robustness. However, existing actuators lack an optimal combination of actuation parameters (including actuation modes, work capacity ...

Innocent Diastolic Murmurs

Chest, 1971
About 10 percent of children, adolescents, or adults with an innocent systolic murmur also have an “innocent” diastolic murmur, which may be either low pitched and apical, or high-pitched and basal. Tentative explanations are advanced.

Diastolic dysfunction

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2003
Although the annual mortality rate for diastolic heart failure is better than that for systolic heart failure, it is still greater than that for age-matched controls. Five-year mortality rates are about 50% for patients with systolic heart failure and are about 25% for patients with diastolic heart failure.

Diastolic dysfunction

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2004
Heart failure is a leading cause of hospital admissions in North America. Approximately half of patients with symptoms of heart failure have normal or minimally impaired systolic function and are therefore diagnosed, by exclusion, with diastolic dysfunction. The therapy of diastolic dysfunction to date is largely unsatisfactory.
