Hypertension and Diastolic Function

Drugs, 1993
Abnormalities 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 ...

Diastolic function in hypertension

Current Cardiology Reports, 2001
Diastolic 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 Function

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.

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.

DIASTOLIC (DYS-)FUNCTION AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY

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 Function Impairment in Alcoholics

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2000
Background: 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 ...

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.

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

Left ventricle: diastolic function

2016
Abstract Evaluation of diastolic function by echocardiography is useful to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by showing signs of diastolic dysfunction, and regardless of ejection fraction, echocardiography can be used to estimate left ventricular (LV) filling pressure.
