Diastolic Dysfunction and Hypertension

open access: yesMedical Clinics of North America, 2017
Left 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

Cardiology in Review, 1998
The pumping function of the left ventricle depends both on its ability to empty and its capacity to fill at a low pressure. Diastolic dysfunction occurs when filling of the left ventricle necessary to produce an adequate cardiac output requires an elevated pulmonary venous pressure.

An Update on Diastolic Dysfunction

Cardiology in Review, 2012
Diastolic 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, 2002
Heart 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.

Diastolic dysfunction in cirrhosis

Heart Failure Reviews, 2016
Development 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.

Diastolic dysfunction

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, 1991
Diastolic 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.

Differentiation between Systolic and Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 1994
Left ventricular (LV) failure can be divided into systolic and diastolic dysfunction. The former is characterized by a reduced ejection fraction and an enlarged LV chamber, the latter by an increased resistance to filling with increased filling pressures.

ECHO parameters of diastolic dysfunction

Perfusion, 2008
Most 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.

Diastolic dysfunction and atrial fibrillation

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2008
Isolated 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).
