Background Patients presenting for coronary artery bypass grafting often have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. These patients are in need for a well contracting left atrium (LA) to generate the required cardiac output.

Left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure in evaluating left ventricular function [PDF]
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 cortical potential reflecting cardiac function [PDF]
Emotional trauma and psychological stress can precipitate cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death through arrhythmogenic effects of efferent sympathetic drive. Patients with preexisting heart disease are particularly at risk.

A unique high-output cardiac hypertrophy phenotype arising from low systemic vascular resistance in Cantu syndrome [PDF]
Background Cardiomegaly caused by left ventricular hypertrophy is a risk factor for development of congestive heart failure, classically associated with decreased systolic and/or diastolic ventricular function.

A new method incorporating deep learning with shape priors for left ventricular segmentation in myocardial perfusion SPECT images [PDF]
Background: The assessment of left ventricular (LV) function by myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) relies on accurate myocardial segmentation. The purpose of this paper is to develop and validate a new method incorporating deep learning with shape priors to accurately extract the LV myocardium for automatic measurement of LV functional parameters ...
