Diastolic dysfunction in heart failure [PDF]
Journal of Cardiac Failure, 1997 Diastolic dysfunction and diastolic failure of the heart have become widely recognized clinical entities. Whereas most conditions related to diastolic dysfunction and failure are the mere consequence of systolic cardiac failure, there also exists a distinct primary form of diastolic failure (1-4).

Defining Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]
Circulation, 2000 The human intellect has an almost irresistible urge to categorize and simplify. Thus, over the years, heart failure has been classified as forward or backward, right or left, compensated or decompensated. These distinctions, which were made primarily on the basis of data obtained from the history and physical examination, provided a conceptual ...

Early diastolic filling dynamics in diastolic dysfunction [PDF]
Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2003 The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the rate of peak early mitral inflow velocity and the peak early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocities in normal controls and to compare them with subjects with diastolic dysfunction.The relationship between early passive diastolic transmitral flow and peak early mitral annular ...

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.

Diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
Hipertensión y Riesgo Vascular, 2017 Hypertension and coronary heart disease, often coexisting, are the most common risk factors for heart failure. The progression of hypertensive heart disease involves myocardial fibrosis and alterations in the left ventricular geometry that precede the functional change, initially asymptomatic.

Diastolic Dysfunction in Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2001 Left ventricular diastolic properties are important markers of pump function and are frequently abnormal when myocardial insults alter tissue structure. Alterations can be limited to the early diastolic phase (early active relaxation) or to late diastolic filling (late ventricular compliance), but more often involve regulation of both phases of ...

Diastolic dysfunction in cardiomyopathies
Journal of Cardiovascular Echography, 2011 Abstract Introduction Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the heart muscle, with frequent genetic component, characterized by a strong heterogeneity concerning clinical presentation and echocardiographic profile. Diastolic dysfunction can affect all forms of cardiomyopathy, often being an expression of a more advanced state of the disease ...

Managing Diastolic Dysfunction Perioperatively
Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2022 Preoperative cardiac evaluation is a cornerstone of the practice of anesthesiology. This consists of a thorough history and physical attempting to elucidate signs and symptoms of heart failure, angina or anginal equivalents, and valvular heart disease.

Looking for Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]
Circulation, 2002 To the Editor: Zile et al1 simplify the diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction by offering an easy approach: normal ejection fraction in a patient with heart failure strongly suggests diastolic dysfunction. Still, one needs an echocardiogram. I am surprised that they, like others,2,3⇓ do not make this difficult-seeming diagnosis even easier: if a patient ...

Pre-Clinical Diastolic Dysfunction
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014 Pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction (PDD) has been broadly defined as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction without the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (HF) and with normal systolic function. PDD is an entity that remains poorly understood, yet has definite clinical significance.
