Effect of the pericardium on atrial systolic function

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1992
The effect of pericardial constraint on atrial systolic function was investigated in nine acutely instrumented anesthetized dogs. Left and right atrial pressures were recorded by high-fidelity catheters; auricular diameters and free wall segment lengths were measured by sonomicrometry.

Assessment of Myocardial Systolic Function by TEE

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 2008
Echocardiography was introduced to the operating suite in the 1970s, with epicardial echocardiography as its initial application. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during surgery was first described in 1980 but did not become commonplace until the mid1980s.

Echo‐Doppler measures of right ventricular systolic function are affected by reduced left ventricular systolic function

Echocardiography, 2022
AbstractBackgroundObjective right ventricular (RV) systolic function assessment is attained using a series of well‐described and validated echo‐Doppler measurements. However, how left ventricular (LV) systolic function influences these RV functional measurements has not been previously studied.

HEART FAILURE WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2000
Contrary to popular belief, population studies indicate that most elderly patients with heart failure have preserved left ventricular systolic function (i.e., presumed diastolic heart failure). Several normal aging changes may predispose older individuals to diastolic heart failure, including increased hypertrophy and stiffness of the left ventricle ...

Left Ventricular Systolic Function

2016
The 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–

Systolic and Diastolic Cardiac Function in Hypertension

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
Hemodynamic variables in hypertension are governed in part by pressure-volume relationships that in turn can be subdivided between systolic and diastolic cardiac functions. These variables are of great consequence when screening patients with high blood pressure, in particular in the early stages.

Left Ventricular Systolic Function

2020
This chapter will provide an overview of the evaluation of left ventricular systolic function by echocardiography. Various parameters of systolic function will be discussed and the different methods of obtaining these will be reviewed. In addition, we will review the basic principles of stress echocardiography and the key concepts in performing and ...

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic Function

2010
Assessment of the left ventricular (LV) function is a very important step in the hemodynamic evaluation, not only for its contribution to diagnosis in heart and respiratory failure, but also for the guidance of therapeutic interventions.

Systolic function of the hypertrophied left ventricle.

Journal of clinical hypertension, 1987
The effects of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on systolic function were studied by echocardiography in 61 hypertensive patients. LV mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (h/r ratio) were used together as LVH indices, and three patterns of LV adaptation to the pressure overload were observed: 13 patients had normal LVMI and h/r ratio (no LVH)

Left ventricle: systolic function

2016
Abstract The assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic function is one of the most important parts of correct diagnosis, selection of treatment strategy or medications, and prediction of prognosis. Although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is generally accepted as the gold standard in vivo imaging modality for assessing LV systolic ...
