Left Ventricular Dimensions and Diastolic Function Are Different in Throwers, Endurance Athletes, and Sprinters From the World Masters Athletics Championships

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
There is controversy whether a lifetime of heavy resistance training, providing pressure-overload, is harmful for left ventricular function. We compared left ventricular dimensions and function in elite Masters athletes involved in throwing events ...

Synergistic Model of Cardiac Function with a Heart Assist Device [PDF]

, 2019
The breakdown of cardiac self-organization leads to heart diseases and failure, the number one cause of death worldwide. The left ventricular pressure–volume relation plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]

, 2017
Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...

Impact of overweight on left ventricular function in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2017
Background Coexistence of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal myocardial systolic dysfunction with LV diastolic dysfunction could lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Percutaneous Revascularization for Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction, as compared with optimal medical ...

Assessment of left ventricular geometrical patterns and function among hypertensive patients at a tertiary hospital, Northern Tanzania

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 ...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of cardiac function and myocardial mass in preterm infants: a preliminary study of the impact of patent ductus arteriosus [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundMany pathologies seen in the preterm population are associated with abnormal blood supply, yet robust evaluation of preterm cardiac function is scarce and consequently normative ranges in this population are limited.

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 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 ...
