A Novel Approach to Standard Techniques in the Assessment and Quantification of the Interventricular Systolic Relationship [PDF]
Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2011 Background Blood flow between the right and left ventricles is subject to the continuity equation and systolic ventricular interdependence. Quantification of this relationship might aid in understanding inter-ventricular function.

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]
, 2000 OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

Left ventricular global systolic function assessment by echocardiography
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2016 The left ventricle, with its thickened myocardial walls, unlike the right ventricle has no measurable geometric shape. It has a conical apex and its function quantification, needs intensive, 2D, 3D and M mode transesophageal echocardiography, which is ...

Intracardiac Thrombus in Community-Acquired Klebsiella pneumonia – An Unprecedented Complication
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022 Left ventricular thrombi commonly occur in the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Their occurrence in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function is extremely rare. Here we present a case of a diabetic lady with community

Left Ventricular Diastolic and Systolic Functions in Patients with Hypothyroidism [PDF]
Medicina, 2020 Background and objectives: Long standing hypothyroidism may impair myocardial relaxation, but its effect on systolic myocardial function is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in patients with hypothyroidism. Materials and Methods: This study included 81 (age 42 ± 13 years,
