Diastolic function in Steinert’s disease [PDF]

Neurology International, 2014
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD) is the most common autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy in adults. Cardiac involvement is mainly characterized by conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias.

Diastolic Function in Heart Failure [PDF]

Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2015
Heart failure has reached epidemic proportions, and diastolic heart failure or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) constitutes about 50% of all heart failure admissions.

Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017
The stepwise approach in evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is essential in any patients with dyspnea on exertion or heart failure. Many of them have normal to near-normal ejection fractions (EFs).

Diastolic function and cardiovascular events in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Improving risk stratification with left atrial strain [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundA limited number of studies have examined the prognostic significance of diastolic function in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in a general population referred for transthoracic echocardiography. Our aim was to

The effect of propofol on the grading of diastolic function: a prospective observational study [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
Background Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction accounts for approximately half the cases of heart failure in the community. Its strong association with both peri-operative and post-operative adverse outcomes in both non-cardiac and cardiac surgical ...

Left ventricular diastolic function and cardiotoxic chemotherapy [PDF]

The Egyptian Heart Journal
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction falls when the myocardium has already lost a significant portion of its functional capacity. There are conflicting data on whether diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic ...

The role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current classifications of HF categorize patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 50% or greater as HF with preserved ejection fraction or HFpEF.

Diastolic Function [PDF]

Anesthesiology, 2010
Perioperative cardiovascular risk assessment has undergone significant advances, including development and validation of multivariable risk indices for prediction of major cardiac complications,1–3 advances in detecting ischemic heart disease, and noninvasive detection of symptomatic reductions in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction.4 However, we ...

Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Cardiac Structure and Function in a Peruvian Population

Global Heart, 2022
Depressive disorders are a leading cause of disability and are globally pervasive. It is estimated that 80% of depression occurs in low-income and middle-income countries.
