Midlife blood pressure predicts future diastolic dysfunction independently of blood pressure [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: High blood pressure (BP) is associated with diastolic dysfunction, but the consequence of elevated BP over the adult life course on diastolic function is unknown.

Cardiac function during weaning failure: the role of diastolic dysfunction
Background Cardiac dysfunction is a common cause of weaning failure. Weaning shares some similarities with a cardiac stress test and may challenge active phases of the cardiac cycle-like ventricular contractility and relaxation.

The diastolic function: an echocardiographic study and its clinical meaning
Many patients with manifestations and/or symptoms of heart failure show a normal or only slight depressed systolic function of the left ventricle. The origin of these symptoms is attributed to anomalies of the diastolic function and the echocardiography ...

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Stress Echocardiography for Assessment of Diastolic Function. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose of Review Diastolic dysfunction is an important, though often underappreciated, cause for exertional dyspnea. Echocardiography enables noninvasive evaluation of diastolic function and filling pressure, but images acquired at rest may be insensitive for detection of exertional abnormalities.

Right Heart Remodeling in Patients with End-Stage Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis: Speckle Tracking Point of View [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Data regarding cardiac remodeling in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis are scarce. We sought to investigate right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) structure, function, and mechanics in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
