Left ventricular hemodynamic forces: gaining insight into left ventricular function [PDF]

Exploration of Cardiology
Analysis of intraventricular pressure gradients has gained interest due to the recent development of a new method of image analysis based on cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking or echocardiographic speckle tracking.

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 ...

Normative reference ranges for echocardiographic chamber dimensions in a healthy Central European population: results from the Czech post-MONICA survey

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2019
Background Normative reference values for echocardiographic chamber quantification are of great importance; however, this can be challenging. Our aim was to derive these values including degrees of abnormality from a random Central European population ...

The effects of low‐dose anthracycline‐based chemotherapy on the levels of serum NT‐proBNP level and left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunctions: A prospective observational study

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background and Aims The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum N‐terminal (NT)‐pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and incidence of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients who underwent low‐dose

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).

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 ...

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Factors influencing left ventricular thrombus resolution and its significance on clinical outcomes

ESC Heart Failure, 2023
Aims A left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is not uncommon in patients with impaired LV systolic function. However, the treatment strategy for LVT has not yet been fully established.
