Diastolic Dysfunction and Hypertension
Medical Clinics of North America, 2017Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is characterized by alterations in LV diastolic filling, and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and heart failure. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for LVDD in the community and promotes LVDD through several mechanisms, including hemodynamic overload and myocardial ischemia ...

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.

An Update on Diastolic Dysfunction
Cardiology in Review, 2012Diastolic dysfunction refers to abnormal diastolic filling properties of the left ventricle regardless of whether systolic function is normal or the patient has symptoms. Diastolic heart failure (HF), or more accurately, HF with preserved systolic function, is a distinct clinical entity characterized by the presence of the triad of impaired diastolic ...

Diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2002Heart failure is one of the most common causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and hypertension is the most common cause of cardiac failure. Recent studies have shown that isolated diastolic dysfunction very often accompanies hypertensive heart disease.

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.

Diastolic Dysfunction and COPD Exacerbation
Postgraduate Medicine, 2009Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation is a frequent cause of hospital admissions. In one-third of patients, exacerbations have no known cause. We studied whether the presence of diastolic dysfunction (DD) in this subgroup of patients is associated with longer duration of hospitalization and more frequent exacerbations.Retrospective ...

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).

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 ...

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.
