Regression of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular diastolic function
The Lancet, 1990The effect of antihypertensive therapy on regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular diastolic function was investigated in 25 hypertensive patients for up to 18 months after initiation of treatment. Left ventricular mass index was calculated by two-dimensional echocardiography and left ventricular diastolic function assessed by ...

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

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 sepsis
Critical Care Medicine, 1990Although systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle has been characterized in septic shock (SS) and sepsis without shock (SWS), diastolic abnormalities are less well characterized. Diastolic filling was determined using pulsed Doppler transmitral spectral tracings in 13 patients with SS, ten patients with SWS, and 33 normal controls.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 1993Two-dimensional echocafdiography has gained widespread acceptance I as the procedure of choice to evaluate left ventricular function. In the last decade, the importance of diastolic function in the overall performance of the left ventricle has received much attention.

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 ...

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 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 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 ...
