Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pediatrics, 2008
We report 2 infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia in whom left ventricular diastolic dysfunction contributed to clinical abnormalities, including pulmonary hypertension and recurrent pulmonary edema. We speculate that close monitoring for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction may assist with clinical management and improve outcomes of infants

Obesity and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

International Journal of Cardiology, 1995
To assess the influence of obesity on left ventricular function, 20 obese women (mean body mass index (BMI) 33.8 +/- 3.1 kg/m2 and mean age 31.1 +/- 2.4 years) without evidence of heart disease were evaluated by echocardiography. Obese subjects had greater left ventricular mass index (103 +/- 22 g/m2, 76 +/- 18 g/m2; P < 0.0001) and augmented ...

Left ventricular diastolic filling in patients with left ventricular dysfunction

International Journal of Cardiology, 1985
The pattern of abnormal left ventricular diastolic filling and its specificity in coronary disease patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction has received little attention. We evaluated the left ventricular diastolic filling curve derived from gated blood pool scans in 21 normals, 61 coronary disease patients with ejection fractions less than or

Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction and Diastolic Heart Failure

Annual Review of Medicine, 2004
Thirty to fifty percent of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of heart failure have a normal left ventricular (LV) systolic ejection fraction. The clinical examination cannot distinguish these patients (diastolic heart failure) from those with a depressed ejection fraction (systolic heart failure), but echocardiography can.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 1994
Diastolic heart failure is common, particularly in patients with coronary artery disease and hypertension. Although it does not contribute to heart failure mortality to the same degree as systolic dysfunction, it is responsible for significant morbidity.

Recognition and treatment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1990
B ASED ON EXTENSIVE research, it has become possible to focus on individual factors that cause or contribute to the clinical syndrome of congestive heart failure. These factors include the effects of ischemia and hypertrophy, changes in the peripheral circulation, alterations in reflex and neurohumoral function, the interdependent function of the right

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction

Hospital Practice, 1992
The hypertrophied heart generally preserves systolic function, but it pays a price in diastolic dysfunction. Coronary reserve is impaired and susceptibility to myocardial ischemia increased. The pathophysiology is managed by addressing causes of pressure overload, preventing tachycardia, or, of course, by specific strategies to reduce or eliminate ...
