BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012 Background With hypertension, the cardiovascular system changes to adapt to the varying neuro-humoral and hemodynamic changes and this may lead to the development of different left ventricular geometric patterns, each carrying a different risk profile ...

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 ...

Left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure in evaluating left ventricular function [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1981 AbstractThere are several factors that could affect the left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure. These include heart rate, preload, afterload, pericardial or pleural pressure, diastolic properties of the left ventricle, and the left ventricular inotropic state.

A Novel Approach to Standard Techniques in the Assessment and Quantification of the Interventricular Systolic Relationship [PDF]
, 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. The purpose
