Diastolic dysfunction in cirrhosis
Heart Failure Reviews, 2016Development of esophageal varices, ascites, and hepatic nephropathy is among the major complications of cirrhosis. The presence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, which includes a left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD), seems to deteriorate the course of the disease and the prognosis.

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.

Significance Of Diastolic Dysfunction Of The Heart
Annual Review of Medicine, 1991Diastolic dysfunction is an important cause of the clinical syndrome of congestive heart failure. Traditionally, the syndrome of pulmonary congestion due to the elevation of left heart filling pressure has been attributed to the depressed ability of the heart to eject blood during systole, with a secondary increase in left ventricular volume.

ECHO parameters of diastolic dysfunction
Perfusion, 2008Most patients with cardiac disease have diastolic dysfunction which is characterized by impaired diastolic filling and/or abnormal diastolic relaxation. The trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) used routinely during open-heart surgical procedures has exceptional resolution that may permit the identification and grading of diastolic dysfunction.

Post-ischemic diastolic dysfunction
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1994Though a sustained post-ischemic decrease in contractile function has been clearly established, post-ischemic diastolic function has not been thoroughly investigated. Accordingly, 11 anesthetized (isoflurane 1%) open-chest beagles were instrumented to measure left ventricular pressure and dimensions (circumferential length and wall thickness) in an ...

Diastolic dysfunction and atrial fibrillation
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2008Isolated diastolic heart failure (DHF) is defined as heart failure with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function in the absence of valve disease. DHF is a clinical diagnosis confirmed by echocardiography and is presumed to be due to diastolic dysfunction (DD).

Diastolic dysfunction in heart failure
Journal of Cardiac Failure, 1997Diastolic 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).

Therapeutic approaches to diastolic dysfunction
Current Hypertension Reports, 2009Progressive abnormalities of passive stiffness or active relaxation of the myocardium that impair ventricular filling during diastole may be an important contributor to the development of heart failure in patients with preserved ejection fraction. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure

Diastolic dysfunction is a syndrome characterized by impaired ventricular filling. Abnormalities in diastolic function can generally be classified as being the result of abnormal relaxation or of abnormal compliance. Diastolic dysfunction is frequently present in patients with heart failure and it is occasionally the dominant or sole cause of symptoms.

Diastolic dysfunction and myocardial energetics
European Heart Journal, 1990Myocardial relaxation is an energy-dependent process. Indeed, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is required to pump free myoplasmic calcium back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It is also necessary to extrude the calcium ions which enter the cell during the plateau phase of the action potential.
