The Impact of Standard Ablation Strategies for Atrial Fibrillation on Cardiovascular Performance in a Four-chamber Heart Model [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent cardiac arrhythmias in the industrialized world and ablation therapy is the method of choice for many patients. However, ablation scars alter the electrophysiological activation and the mechanical behavior of the affected atria.

Diastolic function represents the filling property of the heart during diastole. Diastole comprises four phases: isovolumic relaxation, rapid filling, slow filling (diastasis), and active filling.

Abstract Objectives Investigate age‐related changes in coronary microvascular function, its effect on hyperemic and non‐hyperemic indices of stenosis relevance, and its prognostic implications. Background Evidence assessing the effect of age on fractional flow reserve (FFR), resting mean distal intracoronary pressure/mean aortic pressure (Pd/Pa), and ...

CMR for Assessment of Diastolic Function [PDF]
Prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction amounts to 50% of all cases with heart failure. Diagnosis assessment requires evidence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Abstract Background Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is independently associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous transcatheter approaches may offer an alternative for patients not amenable to surgery. Methods TriCLASP is a prospective, single‐arm, multicenter European post‐market clinical follow‐up study (NCT04614402) to ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: identifying presence by left atrial function
Objective: The left atrium (LA) is exposed to left ventricular pressure during diastole. Applying the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) guidelines, this study aims to investigate whether left atrial ...

Evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function. [PDF]
Le cadre de cette discussion utilise la definition clinique de la diastole pour examiner les phenomenes de la relaxation isovolumique, le remplissage rapide protodiastolique, le diastasis, la contraction auriculaire et la ...
