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.

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 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

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).

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 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 ...

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]

, 2000
OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

Patient Outcomes by Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Left ventricular dysfunction is characterized by systolic and diastolic parameters, leading to heart failure (HF) with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (EF), respectively.

Diastolic function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: effects of propranolol and verapamil on diastolic stiffness [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 1983
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), impaired left ventricular (LV) relaxation and diastolic filling have been reported. Therefore, we determined LV diastolic stiffness in nine patients with HCM before and 10 to 15 min after 0.15 mg/kg propranolol i.v.

Diastolic function and dysfunction in athletes. [PDF]

Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
Abstract Cardiac remodelling is often most profound in male athletes and in athletes with the greatest volumes of endurance training and is characterized by chamber enlargement and a mild-to-modest hypertrophy. The diastolic filling of the left ventricle (LV) is a complex process including the early recoil of the contracted LV, the ...
