Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: Early diastolic relaxation and late diastolic compliance
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1989 The fundamental importance of cardiac filling in regulating performance of the heart was recognized by Starling (I) early in this century. Development of comprehensive ventricular function curves by Sarnoff and others (la,2) beginning in the 1950s focused attention on the role of ventricular compliance in influencing cardiac pump performance by ...

Dose Impaired Relaxation of Left Ventricle Affect Early Outcomes [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2010 Although systolic dysfunction is revealed as a prognostic factor in cardiac surgery , the role of diastolic dysfunction as a predictive factor is less evaluated. In this retrospective study from 872 patients that underwent isolated coronary artery bypass

Diastolic Mitral Regurgitation [PDF]
Circulation, 1999 A67-year-old man underwent transthoracic echocardiography for the evaluation of heart failure. The echocardiographic examination demonstrated significant dilatation of all cardiac chambers with marked global left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction of 10% to 15%).

Investigating inter-turn fault in transformer using TTR and FRA [PDF]
, 2019 Transformers are one of the significant elements in the power system network. The Transformer function is to step up and down the voltages. When the transformer operating in high load, it exposes to failures.

Increased baseline ECG R-R dispersion predicts improvement in systolic function after atrial fibrillation ablation. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction which may improve after AF ablation. We hypothesised that increased ventricular irregularity, as measured by R-R dispersion on the baseline ECG, would ...

Will the real ventricular architecture please stand up? [PDF]
, 2017 Ventricular twisting, essential for cardiac function, is attributed to the contraction of myocardial helical fibers. The exact relationship between ventricular anatomy and function remains to be determined, but one commonly used explanatory model is the ...
