Biomarkers of Inflammation in Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

open access: yesDisease Markers, 2019
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is an important precursor to many different cardiovascular diseases. Diastolic abnormalities have been studied extensively in the past decade, and it has been confirmed that one of the mechanisms leading to heart failure is a chronic, low-grade inflammatory reaction.

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Association between systemic sclerosis and left ventricle dysfunction: Findings from observational studies

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Objectives: Cardiac involvement is common in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients. In this study, we aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between SSc and left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), especially the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction,

Effect of changes in contractility on the index of myocardial performance in the dysfunctional left ventricle

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2006
Background The index of myocardial performance has prognostic power in patients with cardiomyopathy and following myocardial infarction. As the index of myocardial performance has been shown to be preload and afterload dependent, the effect of altering ...

Multimodality Imaging Clues for Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJournal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is an entity that can be mistaken for several mimicking conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These patients present with heart failure, which is essentially due to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, with ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction in Mitochondrial Diabetes [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes Care, 2001
Approximately 1% of diabetes is associated with a mitochondrial tRNA mutation at position 3,243, which was found in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is often reported in MELAS (1). We studied 12 type 2 diabetic patients with the mutation (DM-Mt3243).
