The Deconvolution of Diastole

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009
Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) is a common presentation in elderly persons and seems to have a prognosis almost as bleak as systolic heart failure. Much work on the pathophysiology of this entity has focused on left ventricular (LV) stiffness ([1][1])—indeed, stiffening ...

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Is Associated with NT-proBNP in Patients with New Onset Heart Failure

open access: yesMedicina, 2023
Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is emerging as an important imaging tool for sub-phenotyping and estimating left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP).

Heart-like fair queuing algorithms (HLFQA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We propose a new family of fair, work conserving traffic scheduling mechanisms that imitate the behavior of the human heart in the cardiovascular system.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: Early diastolic relaxation and late diastolic compliance

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The Long Term Effects of a 12‐Session Community Exercise Program on Health Measures in Cancer Patients

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To assess the long‐term effects of a community cancer exercise program on quality of life, fatigue, weight, waist circumference, physical activity levels, lower extremity strength, body mass index (BMI), heart rate, and blood pressure, across non‐metastatic and metastatic patients.

Current perspectives in diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2006
Diastolic heart failure (HF) has emerged over the last two decades as a separate clinical entity. Approximately half of the patients presenting with symptoms of congestive HF exhibit a near normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function at rest, which is thought to be caused by a predominant abnormality in diastolic function. It is generally considered

The burden of intracranial atherosclerosis on cerebral small vessel disease: A community cohort study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Exploring the prevalence and association between intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) and cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD), this study delved beyond the current scope, utilising high‐resolution vessel wall MRI (HRVW‐MRI) to investigate how subtle changes in intracranial atherosclerotic features influence the various burdens of ...

Diastolic and isoperimetric inequalities on surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales scientifiques de l'\'Ecole Normale Sup\'erieure, S\'erie 4, Tome 43 (2010) no. 4, pp. 579-605
We prove a universal inequality between the diastole, defined using a minimax process on the one-cycle space, and the area of closed Riemannian surfaces. Roughly speaking, we show that any closed Riemannian surface can be swept out by a family of multi-loops whose lengths are bounded in terms of the area of the surface. This diastolic inequality, which

Vortex formation and instability in the left ventricle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We study the formation of the mitral vortex ring during early diastolic filling in a patient-specific left ventricle (LV) using direct numerical simulation. The geometry of the left ventricle is reconstructed from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of a healthy human subject.

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...
