The Physiological Basis of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1988
Overall cardiac pump function requires adequate ventricular diastolic filling as well as normal systolic ejection. Abnormalities of the rate or extent of myocardial relaxation (diastolic dysfunction) have been described in a large variety of clinical conditions, including hypertrophy, ischemia, and after cardiac surgery.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertension

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
Abnormalities of left ventricular diastolic function in hypertension are multifactorial in origin. Of importance is the demonstration that abnormalities of left ventricular filling in hypertension may be accompanied by deleterious cardiovascular neurodynamic regulations.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in Ebstein's anomaly

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004
This study was performed to evaluate left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients with Ebstein's anomaly using Doppler echocardiography. We found that LV abnormal relaxation in this anomaly cannot be explained by right ventricular volume overload alone. Furthermore, LV diastolic dysfunction persists even after intracardiac repair.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

2018
Abstract In Chapter 7, the echocardiographic assessment of diastolic LV function is outlined. In the first part of the chapter, the normal physiology of diastole is summarized and the disease processes that lead to diastolic dysfunction are described.

Determinants of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertensive patients

Hipertensión y Riesgo Vascular, 2018
The progression of hypertensive heart disease leads to the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), which is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the determinants for LVDD in patients with hypertension.This is a secondary analysis of data of Impedance Cardiography in the ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction

2001
Our understanding of systemic hypertension and its vascular complications has been expanding steadily in the past two decades. This progress has refined methods for the measurement of hypertensive disease complications and allowed an inquiry into the clinical factors that may accelerate them.

Adiponectin and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Heart, 2010
To the Editor: The recent publication by Unno et al concluded that adiponectin is an indicator of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. …

Pulsus Alternans in Diastolic Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Angiology, 1997
Pulsus alternans is usually found in patients with reduced systolic ventricular function. We describe a patient with recurrent pulmonary edema, hypertension, bilateral renal artery stenosis, but with normal systolic function. Pulsus alternans was demonstrated in both pulmonary artery, right ventricle, and left ventricle pressures.

Atrium electromechanical interval in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2011
Eur J Clin Invest 2011AbstractBackground  Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has great effects on the left atrium (LA). A recently developed electromechanical interval (PA‐TDI), which was determined as the time interval from the initiation of P wave deflection to the peak of local lateral LA tissue Doppler imaging signal, was reported to be ...

The natural history of isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

The American Journal of Medicine, 1992
To assess the natural history of isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.Follow-up (average duration, 68 months) was obtained in 51 patients with isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction at cardiac catheterization, characterized by (1) an elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; (2) normal left ventricular end-diastolic and end ...
