Evaluation of diastolic function
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2001AbstractAbnormalities of diastolic function are increasingly recognized as important components of the abnormal physiology in many patients with heart failure. In order to better understand the role of abnormalities of individual parameters or diastolic function affecting filling of the left ventricular a broader understanding of the relationship of ...

Hypertension and Diastolic Function
Drugs, 1993Abnormalities in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in the presence of normal LV systolic performance is one of the earliest cardiac manifestations of systemic hypertension. Alterations in diastolic filling indices have been observed more clearly in patients with LV hypertrophy, although it is evident that these filling abnormalities may be ...

Abstract The history of functional diastolic murmurs is reviewed. These murmurs are defined as murmurs not caused by valve stenosis, though usually connected with severe changes of cardiovascular dynamics. The phonocardiograms of 11 patients are presented and clinical and laboratory data of these patients are discussed.

Diastolic function in hypertension
Current Cardiology Reports, 2001Diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension may present as asymptomatic findings on noninvasive testing, or as fulminant pulmonary edema, despite normal left ventricular systolic function. Up to 40% of hypertensive patients presenting with clinical signs of congestive heart failure have normal systolic left ventricular function. In this article

DIASTOLIC (DYS-)FUNCTION AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY [PDF]
Cardiology Clinics, 2000 Cross-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 (Dys)Function in Sepsis [PDF]
, 2007 Sepsis 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].

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 ...

Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 2006 Information about left ventricular function was traditionally provided primarily with measures of systolic function. Including the assessment of diastolic function has become an integral part of the evaluation of left ventricular function. Echocardiographic parameters of structure and Doppler provide information on each portion of the diastolic phases.

Assessment of Diastolic Function
2010Heart failure has become an increasingly important medical problem. It is one of the major reasons for hospitalization and is associated with increased mortality. The prevalence of heart failure is expected to rise with the aging of the population. About half of the patients with heart failure have preserved left ventricular systolic function, and ...

Hypertension and Diastolic Function
20081. Diastolic dysfunction is common in hypertension and is associated with dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, and exercise intolerance. 2. Hypertension, obesity, and diabetes mellitus are the most important cardiovascular risk factors for the development of diastolic heart failure in the elderly. 3.
