Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in ARDS Patients
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible presence of diastolic dysfunction and its possible effects in terms of respiratory mechanics, gas exchange and lung recruitability in mechanically ventilated ARDS. Methods: Consecutive patients admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) with ARDS were enrolled.

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Left Ventricular End‐Diastolic Volume in Patients With Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]
Diastolic dysfunction can be diagnosed on equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) by a low peak filling rate (PFR) in the setting of a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The authors evaluated the relationship between diastolic dysfunction, LVEF, and end‐diastolic volume (EDV).

Prevalence of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in a General Population [PDF]
Background— Because the process of myocardial remodelling starts before the onset of symptoms, recent heart failure (HF) guidelines place special emphasis on the detection of subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction and the timely ...
