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 ...

Thrombolysis, Left Ventricular Function, and Mortality
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1991Coronary thrombolysis is now accepted as effective treatment for coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction. The a priori hypotheses that thrombolysis works by restoring coronary patency and that coronary reperfusion preserves myocardial function have been disputed but not disproved.

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 Function in COPD [PDF]
, 1995 The relationships between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction have been the subject of debate for several decades. Improved techniques to assess LV function have recently clarified this subject [1]. In the absence of an associated cause of left cardiopathy, the left ventricle of a COPD patient must be ...

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.

Left ventricular diastolic function
2020Abnormalities of diastolic function in the critically ill have been demonstrated to be associated with important intensive care outcomes such as mortality and ventilator weaning failure. The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function refers requires the analysis of the onset, pattern, and termination of left ventricular filling as ...

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 Systolic Function
2016The estimation of left ventricular systolic function, both qualitative and quantitative, remains essential to the perioperative management of the cardiovascular status of the surgical patient. As a result of its portability and versatility, echocardiography is now widely used for this purpose (Lang et al. in European Journal of Echocardiography 7(2):79–

Evaluation of left ventricular function
1989Until recently, the echocardiography evaluation of left ventricular volume and systolic function has been performed by M-mode derived left ventricular end-diastolic and systolic dimension measurements. M-mode echocardiography more clearly identifies the endocardial surface of the left ventricle as compared with two-dimensional echocardiography.
