Diastolic dysfunction in sickle cell [PDF]
Blood, 2010 In adults with sickle cell disease (SCD), echocardiographic evidence of diastolic dysfunction is an independent risk factor for death that is additive to pulmonary hypertension. In this issue of Blood, Johnson and colleagues describe echocardiography and polysomnography results from 44 children with SCD.

Nesiritide for the Treatment of Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]
Congestive Heart Failure, 2004 Despite advances in the treatment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, therapy is still primarily empiric and readmission rates remain high, with up to half of patients discharged with the diagnosis of congestive heart failure being rehospitalized within 6 months due to recurrent decompensation. Even with this high economic burden, no effective,

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008 It has recently become firmly established that patients can experience chronic and acute heart failure with a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF).1–5 We now know this disorder is the dominant form of HF in the community, and that compared with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), it is increasing in prevalence and incidence,6 causes at least as many

BMC Anesthesiology, 2022 Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is an acknowledged peri-operative risk factor that should be identified before surgery. This study aimed to evaluate a simplified echocardiographic method using e’ and E/e’ for identification and ...

Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]
, 2017 Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...

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 – negative prognostic factor in patients with hepatic cirrhosis [PDF]
Romanian Medical Journal, 2017 Objectives. To evaluate the left ventricular diastolic function in patients with cirrhosis and to establish its relation to the degree of severity of liver disease as well as to biological markers of cardiac dysfunction. Methods. We included 72 patients

Practical approach to diastolic dysfunction in light of the new guidelines and clinical applications in the operating room and in the intensive care [PDF]
, 2018 There is growing evidence both in the perioperative period and in the field of intensive care (ICU) on the association between left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and worse outcomes in patients.
