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 ...

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
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 ...

Physiology of left ventricular diastolic function
Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1997Left ventricular diastolic function in vivo is still incompletely understood. Extrapolations from in vitro studies are limited mainly owing to the simultaneous occurrence of relaxation and filling in vitro and the presence of haemodynamic loading conditions.

Left ventricular diastolic function in diabetics.
Acta physiologica Hungarica, 1988Left ventricular diastolic function was studied in 29 young diabetic patients (aged from 14 to 44 years) without any clinical sign of heart disease. The metabolic state, the presence and the degree of microvascular and neuropathic complications have been established. Age and sex matched 32 healthy subjects served as controls.
