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.

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 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.

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 ...

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.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Chronic Aortic Dissection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
In chronic aortic dissection, compression of the true lumen by the expanded false lumen may be a cause of left ventricular afterload elevation, which may result in diastolic dysfunction. We compared the left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography between those patients who had double-barrel descending aortic dissection and those who did not.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

Abstract This chapter discusses echocardiographic techniques used in the assessment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. It begins by discussing the normal physiology of diastole, as well as the conditions that lead to dysfunction. The chapter continues with echocardiographic assessment of diastolic dysfunction using 2D imaging,

[Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in cardiomyopathies].

Archives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 1996
Although physiologists have recognised for many years that cardiac performance is based on two functions, systolic and diastolic, it has only been in the last 15 years that clinicians have acknowledged the essentiel role of diastole in the physiopathology of cardiac disease.
