Early and late systolic wall stress differentially relate to myocardial contraction and relaxation in middle-aged adults: the Asklepios study [PDF]
Experimental studies implicate late systolic load as a determinant of impaired left ventricular (LV) relaxation. We aimed to assess the relationship between the myocardial loading sequence and left ventricular (LV) contraction and relaxation.

The pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure [PDF]
Whilst resting disturbances of both diastolic and long-axis systolic function are observed in patients with heart failure who have normal left ventricular ejection fraction, recent evidence suggests that dynamic disturbances in cardiac function occur ...

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in septic shock
The identification of myocardial dysfunction in septic shock has not yet been fully elucidated. We therefore studied patients with persistently vasopressor-dependent septic shock, both with invasive haemodynamic monitoring and transoesophageal two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography (TEE).Prospective study.General ICU in University Hospital.All ...

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in a Predialysis Patient Population
Diastolic dysfunction is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) accounting for 40%-66% of cardiovascular complications.To determine the prevalence of and factors associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in adult Nigerians with CKD at presentation and to compare findings with those of hypertensive patients with normal renal function.

The effects of continous positive airway pressure on LV diastolic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]
Background and aims: One of the main problems of health is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of Continous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) on Left Ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients ...

Left ventricular diastolic function in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and heart failure with low left ventricular ejection fraction [PDF]
Background: According to epidemiological studies, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is, in common with diabetes, related to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure (HF).
