DIASTOLIC (DYS-)FUNCTION AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
Cardiology Clinics, 2000Cross-talk between cardiac electrical and mechanical function is a bidirectional process: The origin and spread of electric excitation govern cardiac contraction and relaxation, while the mechanic environment provides feedback information to the heart's electric behavior. The latter tends to be unduly disregarded by the medical community.

Diastolic Function Impairment in Alcoholics
Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2000Background: Chronic excessive ethanol consumption exerts a deleterious effect on the myocardium. Although the effects of chronic alcoholism on systolic cardiac function are well known, diastolic involvement has been evaluated only partially. Therefore, we determined the presence of left ventricular diastolic impairment in chronic alcoholics and its ...

Diastolic (Dys)Function in Sepsis
2007Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that results from the systemic response of the body to infection [1]. It is a serious clinical problem, accounting for substantial morbidity and mortality. The majority of these patients die of refractory hypotension and of cardiovascular collapse [2].

Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2001Abnormal diastolic function is increasingly appreciated as a major contributor to cardiac morbidity and mortality. Accurate noninvasive assessment of the presence and severity of diastolic impairment is crucial to the broad application and understanding of this common condition.

Myocardial diastolic function and exercise
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1999There are several important links between aerobic exercise performance and the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. During acute exercise, diastolic function must be augmented in order for left ventricular filling to match increased left ventricular output, i.e., cardiac output. This challenges the myocardium because the shortened duration of diastole

Assessment of diastolic function
2011Modern assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function should be based on the estimation of degree of LV filling pressure (LVFP), which is the true determinant of symptoms/signs and prognosis in heart failure.In order to achieve this goal, standard Doppler assessment of mitral inflow pattern (E/A ratio ...

Left ventricular diastolic function
Critical Care Medicine, 2007Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality resulting from congestive heart failure are major concerns for the critical care physician. Although heart failure is commonly associated with impaired systolic function, in up to one half of cases, heart failure occurs exclusively on the basis of an impairment of diastolic function.

Determinants of Diastolic Function
1989The original concept of diastolic function of the left ventricle was that the pressure within the left ventricle is determined by the balance between the forces due to pressures within the ventricular cavity that expand the ventricle and forces due to elasticity of the myocardium that resist this expansion. While this concept remains the centrepiece of

Assessment of Diastolic Function
2015Abstract Diastole is the part of the cardiac cycle starting at aortic valve closure and ending at mitral valve closure. Evaluation of diastolic function by echocardiography is useful to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and regardless of ejection fraction, echocardiography can be used to estimate left ventricular ...
