Left ventricular diastolic function and cardiotoxic chemotherapy [PDF]

The Egyptian Heart Journal
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction falls when the myocardium has already lost a significant portion of its functional capacity. There are conflicting data on whether diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic ...

Interrelations of aortic spring function, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and left ventricular diastolic function: The Framingham Heart Study [PDF]

Physiological Reports
Mechanical twisting and untwisting of the left ventricle as well as abnormal hemodynamic aortic‐ventricular coupling are recognized as contributors to left ventricular diastolic function.

The Influence of Pericardial Fat on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function. [PDF]

Diagnostics (Basel), 2023
Background: Heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; left ventricular diastolic dysfunction plays a leading role in this clinical context. Diastolic dysfunction may be predisposed by increased abdominal fat and, consequently, increased pericardial and epicardial adiposity.

Relationship between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and decreased left ventricular diastolic function in patient with coronary heart disease: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundArterial compliance is an independent predictor of diastolic dysfunction. Invasive catheterization can accurately reflect diastolic function. However, studies on the invasive assessment of diastolic function are currently limited.

Sevoflurane effects on left atrial performance: a transesophageal echocardiographic study on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

Ain Shams Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Patients presenting for coronary artery bypass grafting often have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. These patients are in need for a well contracting left atrium (LA) to generate the required cardiac output.

Grading Diastolic Left Ventricular Function [PDF]

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2011
This editorial refers to ‘Diagnosis of heart failure with pre-served ejection fraction: which parameters and diagnosticstrategies are more valuable?’, by X.-X. Shuai et al.,published in this issue on page 737–745.The diagnosis of heart failure (HF) is based on symptoms and signsof HF, as well as evidence for a functional or structural abnormalityof the

Carvedilol improves left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2021
Background: Iron overload cardiomyopathy is the most common cause of death in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of carvedilol treatment in patients with transfusion-dependent ...

Assessment of Right Ventricular Function With CT and Echocardiography in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
Objectives:. Changes in right ventricular size and function are frequently observed in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The majority of patients who receive venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergo chest CT and ...

Analysis of left ventricular diastolic function [PDF]

Heart, 1996
Our understanding of left ventricular diastolic function has evolved with our understanding of Doppler echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular filling dynamics. Left ventricular diastolic function consists of several variables which affect the Doppler echocardiographic recordings in a complex way. While there are still limitations with the non-
