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 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).

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
Heart, 2015Development of effective atrial fibrillation (AF) prevention strategies has become a research priority to reduce the global burden of this arrhythmia. With an estimated prevalence in 2010 of 8.8 million adults aged >55 years and a projected prevalence of 17.9 million by 2060 in the European Union,1 AF is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia and is ...

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.

Perioperative Assessment of Diastolic Dysfunction
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2011Assessment of diastolic function should be a component of a comprehensive perioperative transesophageal echocardiographic examination. Abnormal diastolic function exists in >50% of patients presenting for cardiac and high-risk noncardiac surgery, and has been shown to be an independent predictor of adverse postoperative outcome.

The Canadian journal of cardiology, 1996
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.

Treatment of diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 2012Diastolic dysfunction is present in half of patients with hypertension and has been shown to be associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as well as the development of heart failure. With the high prevalence of hypertension and its associated complications, treatment of diastolic dysfunction in hypertension is an important and ...

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1992
Diastolic dysfunction is characterized by an abnormal function of one or both ventricles which is manifested by an increased resistance to diastolic filling. The pathophysiology of diastolic dysfunction includes relaxation disturbances, abnormal diastolic filing and/or abnormal passive elastic properties.

Assessment and treatment of diastolic dysfunction.
Minerva cardioangiologica, 1993Congestive heart failure almost invariably includes a component of diastolic dysfunction, and in many patients impaired diastolic filling is the predominant functional abnormality. Failure of myocardial relaxation depends on abnormalities of calcium uptake as well as on the systolic and diastolic loads, the nonuniformity of load and the passive elastic
