Left ventricular diastolic function and cardiotoxic chemotherapy [PDF]
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 ...

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

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

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]
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

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]
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-
