Left ventricular systolic function
2020Left ventricular systolic function assessment is an essential component of the echocardiographic assessment of the critically ill patient. A wide range of diseases from sepsis to coronary ischaemia can affect the left ventricle (LV). An understanding of the events and timings in LV systole within the cardiac cycle is important, together with an ...

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 1993Two-dimensional echocafdiography has gained widespread acceptance I as the procedure of choice to evaluate left ventricular function. In the last decade, the importance of diastolic function in the overall performance of the left ventricle has received much attention.

Left ventricular and left atrial function
2015Global left ventricular (LV) function is an important prognostic parameter and is useful for therapeutic decision-making. Since its introduction, two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography has played an important role in the quantitation of LV function.

Understanding Left Ventricular Function
1988The characteristics of cardiac muscle contraction and relaxation have been extensively investigated using isolated heart muscle preparations. In such preparations, the effects of changes in preload (Starling’s law of the heart) and in contractility have been clearly defined, and many indices of contractility described.

Left Ventricular Pump Function
1997The heart is a cleverly designed organ that propells blood around the body. Satisfactory performance depends on competent cardiac valves and powerful contraction of cardiac muscle. The heart’s performance is often compared to that of a hydraulic pump where efficiency is computed as the ratio of work performed to oxygen consumed.
