Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function [PDF]
Approximately half of patients with a diagnosis of heart failure have a normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) without valve disease which is defined as diastolic heart failure (DHF), because it is attributed to LV diastolic dysfunction.[2] Studies examining prevalence of diastolic heart failure in hospitalized patients or in patients ...

Cardiovascular features of possible autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas [PDF]
Background: Low-grade incomplete post-dexamethasone cortisol suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas – recently defined as possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS) – has been associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality.

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function by Echocardiography [PDF]
The normal cardiac cycle consists of two phases, systole and diastole, which are repeated over time to maintain an adequate cardiac output. The systole has been traditionally regarded as the main capital phase, leaving at diastole as a secondary process and almost forgotten.

Rate Control Management of Atrial Fibrillation: May a Mathematical Model Suggest an Ideal Heart Rate? [PDF]
Background. Despite the routine prescription of rate control therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), clinical evidence demonstrating a heart rate target is lacking.

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients. While extensive data have identified diastolic dysfunction (DD) to increase morbidity and mortality, the unique hemodynamic conditions inherent to SCA challenge the current recommendations to assess diastolic function. Thus, there is an urgent

Background Normative reference values for echocardiographic chamber quantification are of great importance; however, this can be challenging. Our aim was to derive these values including degrees of abnormality from a random Central European population ...

Alterations in left ventricular diastolic function with doxorubicin therapy
To determine whether impaired diastolic function may be an early sign of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, a retrospective study was performed in 12 patients who had undergone serial radionuclide angiography and were found to have a left ventricular ejection fraction of 55% or more before doxorubicin (Adriamycin) treatment and during follow-up. Average rapid
