Early diastolic filling dynamics in diastolic dysfunction [PDF]
Background 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 ...

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

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.

Managing Diastolic Dysfunction Perioperatively
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.

Diastolic dysfunction – negative prognostic factor in patients with hepatic cirrhosis [PDF]
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

Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]
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 ...

B-type natriuretic peptide as a biochemical marker of left ventricular diastolic function: Assessment in asymptomatic patients 1 year after valve replacement for aortic stenosis. [PDF]
Objectives: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction after aortic valve replacement (AVR) carries a substantial risk of development of heart failure and reduced survival.

Diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
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.
