Longitudinal Displacement for Left Ventricular Function Assessment [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and DiseaseBackground: Quantitative evaluation of myocardial function traditionally relies on parameters such as ejection fraction and strain. Strain, reflecting the relative change in the length of a myocardial segment over the cardiac cycle, has been extensively ...

Normal left ventricular function. [PDF]
Circulation, 1979 The Starling relationship in the normal human ventricle may be different than usually portrayed. In normal, resting, supine man the ventricular function curve is at its peak at a left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of approximately 10 mm Hg. Below this point is a strong direct relation between filling pressure and stroke work, while at higher ...

Differentiation between mild and severe myocarditis using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance
Radiology Case Reports, 2023 The pathophysiology of myocarditis is associated with mild inflammation and may progress silently, or in severe cases such as fulminant myocarditis, may lead to sudden hemodynamic compromise.

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2023 Background: Heart failure (HF) is a rapidly growing public health issue in super aging societies, such as Japan. Right HF is common in older patients. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between right ventricular diastolic function

Left ventricular function in scleroderma [PDF]
Rheumatology, 1996 Scleroderma affects the left heart directly and indirectly via the effects of systemic hypertension. Using transthoracic echocardiography, we evaluated 35 patients with scleroderma and compared them with matched control subjects. Compared with controls, there were no differences between left ventricular dimensions, wall thickness, calculated mass or ...
