Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2001
Abnormal 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.

Determinants of Diastolic Function

1989
The 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

Diastolic Function: A Sonographer’s Approach to the Essential Echocardiographic Measurements of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2007
Noninvasive assessment of left ventricular filling pressures by echocardiography has been validated by invasive hemodynamic studies and correlated with clinical findings. A comprehensive echocardiographic examination based on the referral diagnosis and patient symptomatology routinely includes efforts to measure specific parameters of left ventricular ...

Left ventricular diastolic function

Critical Care Medicine, 2007
Cardiovascular 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.

Myocardial diastolic function and exercise

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1999
There 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

The EAE Textbook of Echocardiography

2011
The EAE Textbook of Echocardiography is the official textbook of the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE). It serves the educational requirements of cardiologists and all clinical medical professionals, underpinning the structural training in the field in accordance with EAE aims and goals, and reflecting the EAE Core Syllabus.

Modern Assessment of Diastolic Function

Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports, 2016
The goal of this review is to outline the new guidelines released by the ASE/EACVI that seek to simplify the assessment of diastolic function and evaluate the use and potential application of new and emerging technologies. The latest guidelines have decreased the number of parameters needed to evaluate diastolic function to 3.

Systolic and Diastolic Cardiac Function in Hypertension

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
Hemodynamic variables in hypertension are governed in part by pressure-volume relationships that in turn can be subdivided between systolic and diastolic cardiac functions. These variables are of great consequence when screening patients with high blood pressure, in particular in the early stages.

Left ventricular diastolic function

2020
Abnormalities of diastolic function in the critically ill have been demonstrated to be associated with important intensive care outcomes such as mortality and ventilator weaning failure. The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function refers requires the analysis of the onset, pattern, and termination of left ventricular filling as ...

Assessment of Diastolic Function by Cardiac MRI

2008
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques continue to change rapidly, and cardiac MRI is developing as an alternative noninvasive technique having the unique potential of three-dimensional function analysis with great accuracy and reproducibility.
