Assessment of left and right ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by vascular changes and immunologically induced fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Systemic sclerosis may be associated with both right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. AIM To analyse RV and LV myocardial diastolic function in patients with SSc and its relation to exercise capacity. ...
متن کاملRight ventricular diastolic abnormalities in systemic sclerosis. Relation to left ventricular involvement and pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVES To investigate right ventricular diastolic function in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and its relation to clinical features of the disease. METHODS Seventy seven unselected SSc patients and 33 healthy subjects were submitted to echocardiography and echo Doppler study to assess left and right systolic as well diastolic function and to estimate maximal arterial systolic pulmonary pressure ...
متن کاملEarly improvement in left ventricular diastolic function after relief of chronic right ventricular pressure overload.
Chronic right ventricular pressure overload is associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Whether or not an abrupt reduction in pulmonary artery pressure in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension results in early improvement of left ventricular diastolic function is unknown. To assess this, the Doppler indexes of left ventricular diastolic function and echocardiographic measu...
متن کاملacute and chronic effect of cigarette on right and left ventricular diastolic function
conclusions chronic smoking caused left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. acute intake caused left and right ventricular diastolic dysfunction. changes persisted up to 30 minutes after smoking, although diastolic blood pressure returned to normal state. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of smoking on the left and right ventricular (rv) diastolic funct...
متن کاملImpact of myocardial fibrosis on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with systemic sclerosis
Introduction: Patients with systemic sclerosis have a high prevalence of myocardial fibrosis, which has a potential negative impact on cardiac function. Diastolic dysfunction is a frequent echocardiographic finding in patients with scleroderma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible influence of myocardial fibrosis on the diastolic function of the left ventricle in patients with sys...
