Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction and Diastolic Heart Failure
Annual Review of Medicine, 2004Thirty 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 filling in patients with left ventricular dysfunction
International Journal of Cardiology, 1985The 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 in Ebstein's anomaly
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004This 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 Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction
Hospital Practice, 1992The 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 ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994Abnormalities 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.

Recognition and treatment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1990B 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 Diastolic Dysfunction: Risks, Identification, and Treatment
Progress in Cardiovascular Nursing, 2004Risk factors of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, and myocardial infarction, if left untreated, will increase the risk of the development of chronic heart failure. Much is known about the pathophysiology and effective treatments of chronic heart failure from left ventricular systolic dysfunction; however, little clinical trial ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
2018Abstract 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.

A rare cause of erectile dysfunction: left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
Minerva Cardioangiologica, 2020The aim of this study was to investigate the association between left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and erectile dysfunction (ED) without overt cardiovascular disease.A total of 80 patients with LVDD and without a history of coronary artery disease were compared with 80 age- and gender-matched healthy controls.

The Physiological Basis of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1988Overall 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.
