Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Cardiology Clinics, 1990Doppler echocardiography can provide insight into the diastolic properties of the left ventricle. The hemodynamic origins of the diastolic mitral flow velocity profile are reviewed and Doppler information is compared to other measures of left ventricular diastolic function. Factors affecting the mitral diastolic flow velocity in both normal populations

Hypertension and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1989In recent years, there has been increased recognition of the relative importance of abnormalities of diastolic function in patients with essential hypertension. Indeed, diastolic dysfunction may be the earliest indicator of hypertensive heart disease. In this article, the mechanisms governing normal ventricular relaxation and the factors that may cause

Left-Ventricular Diastolic Function and Hypertension
Cardiology Clinics, 1995Left-ventricular diastolic function is influenced by multiple factors in hypertension. These factors include age, left-ventricular hypertrophy, afterload, left-atrial pressure, blood pressure, and myocardial stiffness. The influences of and interactions among these factors change the filling characteristics of the left ventricle and characterize ...

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Liver Cirrhosis
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1996Left ventricular systolic abnormalities have been reported in liver cirrhosis (LC). Diastolic function in cirrhotics, on the contrary, does not seem to have been studied so far.Diastolic function was evaluated in 42 cirrhotic patients and in 16 controls by means of Doppler echocardiography.Compared with the controls, cirrhotics had increased left ...

Left ventricular diastolic function
Critical Care Medicine, 2007Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality resulting from congestive heart failure are major concerns for the critical care physician. Although heart failure is commonly associated with impaired systolic function, in up to one half of cases, heart failure occurs exclusively on the basis of an impairment of diastolic function.

Left ventricular diastolic function in weight lifters
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1986Concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and asymmetric septal hypertrophy have both been described in weight lifters, but diastolic filling, which is abnormal in pathologically hypertrophied ventricles, has not been investigated in such subjects. Accordingly, pulsed Doppler examination of LV inflow, M-mode and 2-dimensional echocardiography were ...

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function by the Intensivist
Chest, 2018The assessment of left ventricular diastolic function is an important element of advanced critical care echocardiography. Standard methods of evaluating diastolic function that are routinely performed on an elective basis in the cardiology echocardiography laboratory may be difficult to apply in the critical care unit.

Left ventricular diastolic function in mitral stenosis
Echocardiography, 2020AbstractThe assessment of left ventricular (LV) function in the setting of mitral stenosis (MS) has been critically examined for decades. Accurate assessment of aberrations in diastolic function is important as these subjects often present with signs and symptoms of heart failure and pulmonary congestion that cannot be solely explained by the severity ...

[Aging and left ventricular diastolic function].
Cardiologia (Rome, Italy), 1991Several studies have demonstrated that physiological aging significantly affects cardiovascular function. Experimental researches, conducted on cardiac muscle of senescent animals, have shown a prolongation of both contraction and relaxation times. This phenomenon was explained by a reduced Ca(++)-stimulated ATPase pump activity, responsible for the ...

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients on Hemodialysis
Journal of Investigative Medicine, 2010Background Previous studies have shown that the assessment of Doppler mitral flow velocity (DMFV) curves can be used to predict prognosis owing to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in certain specific diseases. Our aim was to study whether the prognostic value of DMFV curves is affected by the many end-
