Left ventricular diastolic function following myocardial infarction
Current Heart Failure Reports, 2006An acute myocardial infarction causes a loss of contractile fibers which reduces systolic function. Parallel to the effect on systolic function, a myocardial infarction also impacts diastolic function, but this relationship is not as well understood. The two physiologic phases of diastole, active relaxation and passive filling, are both influenced by ...

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in the Elderly
The American Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2001Previous studies using pulsed Doppler echocardiography have demonstrated a pattern of abnormal left ventricular relaxation associated with increasing age. Specifically, aging is associated with decreased peak velocity of early diastolic mitral inflow, increased peak velocity of late diastolic inflow, increased isovolumic relaxation time ...

Operations for improving left ventricular diastolic function
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2016With a combination of fetal catheter interventions and postnatal catheter and surgical interventions, the left ventricle in patients with hypoplastic left heart can undergo significant increase in size and remodeling to support cardiac output. However, some will have persistent high left atrial pressures resulting in pulmonary edema and high pulmonary ...

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
2021Abstract This chapter looks at how left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a key player in the pathophysiology of heart failure and it has prognostic implications even in the preclinical stage. Echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality used for the clinical evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function.

5 Left ventricular diastolic function
Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1998Over the last 15 years diastolic dysfunction has been recognized as a separate pathophysiological and clinical entity. At the same time two-dimensional echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography have evolved to become the method of choice to evaluate diastolic function in daily clinical practice.

[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 ...

Normalised radionuclide measures of left ventricular diastolic function
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1989Abnormal left ventricular diastolic function is being increasingly recognised in patients with clinical heart failure and normal systolic function. A simple routine radionuclide measure of diastolic function would therefore be useful. To establish this, the relationship of peak diastolic filling rate (normalized for either end diastolic volume, stroke ...

Tissue Doppler to Assess Diastolic Left Ventricular Function
Echocardiography, 1999Doppler indices of left ventricular (LV) filling have been used traditionally for the assessment of LV diastolic function. In many circumstances, however, the interpretation of these indices is difficult because they respond to alterations of different physiological variables such as preload, relaxation, and heart rate.

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-stage renal disease factors, such as ...
