Diastolic dysfunction precedes myocardial hypertrophy in the development of hypertension [PDF]
Background: Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and impaired diastolic function may occur early in systemic hypertension, but longitudinal studies are missing.

Left ventricular dysfunction measured by tissue Doppler imaging and strain rate imaging in hypertensive adolescents [PDF]
Purpose : Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and impaired diastolic function may occur early in systemic hypertension. Diastolic dysfunction is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

Cardiovascular abnormalities and impaired exercise performance in adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Context: Patients with classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) are treated with lifelong glucocorticoids (GCS). Cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic effects of such therapy in adolescents have never been quantified.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) can affect left ventricular diastolic parameters because of interference with regurgitation flow. This study compared left ventricular diastolic parameters between patients with and without significant MR.

Endothelial barrier dysfunction in diabetic conduit arteries: a novel method to quantify filtration [PDF]
The endothelial barrier plays an important role in atherosclerosis, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia. In the present study, an accurate, reproducible, and user-friendly method was used to further understand endothelial barrier function of conduit ...

Eshelby inclusions in granular matter: theory and simulations
We present a numerical implementation of an active inclusion in a granular material submitted to a biaxial test. We discuss the dependence of the response to this perturbation on two parameters: the intra-granular friction coefficient on one hand, the ...

Early carotid atherosclerosis and cardiac diastolic abnormalities in hypertensive subjects [PDF]
Despite the fact that it is known that hypertension may be associated to early atherosclerosis manifestations, few data are to date available on the relationship between early carotid abnormalities and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Quantitative assessment of regional peak myocardial acceleration during isovolumic contraction and relaxation times by tissue Doppler imaging [PDF]
To examine regional wall acceleration and its relation to relaxation.8 sheep were examined by tissue Doppler ultrasound imaging (VingMed Vivid FiVe) in apical four chamber views to evaluate the left ventricular wall divided into six segments and the mitral annulus in two segments.
