Left ventricular long-axis changes in early diastole and systole: impact of systolic function on diastole.
Impaired long-axis motion is a sensitive marker of systolic myocardial dysfunction, but no data are available that relate long-axis changes in systole with those in diastole, particularly in subjects with diastolic dysfunction and a 'normal' left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. A total of 311 subjects (including 105 normal healthy volunteers) aged 20-89 years with variable degrees of systol...
متن کاملMyocardial fibrosis: the heart of diastole?
SCD is a model for chronic and diffuse vasculopathy resulting in tissue infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Much attention has been placed on diffuse endothelial disease in SCD. More recently, diastolic heart failure has been recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the general population and more specifically in SCD patients. However, there has been a paucity of ...
متن کاملMitral Annular Dynamics and Left Ventricular Diastole
Background Though diastolic interrogation of the mitral annulus (MA) using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has been quite useful in assessing left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, the relative contribution of the previous cycle MA systolic displacement or velocity components to subsequent LV diastole has not been previously investigated. We therefore sought to determine the association between...
متن کاملThe Case Against Abandoning the Search for Substantive Accuracy
Professor Slobogin’s new book, Proving the Unprovable, is the most provocative evidence text that I have read in years. In the book, he argues in favor of a more relaxed standard for admitting psychologists’ and psychiatrists’ testimony about a person’s prior mental state. He contends that a person’s earlier mental state is essentially unprovable and that it is impossible to gauge the validity ...
متن کاملPacific islanders pay heavy price for abandoning traditional diet.
Scattered across the Pacific Ocean are thousands of islands which make up three regions known as Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Beyond the image of white sandy beaches and carefree lifestyles, the Pacific islands are facing serious health problems, the prime culprit being imported foods. In at least 10 Pacific island countries, more than 50% (and in some, up to 90%) of the population is o...
