Biomarkers of Inflammation in Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
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]
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

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
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]
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).
