Diastolic Function in Steinert’s Disease
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD) is the most common autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy in adults. Cardiac involvement is mainly characterized by conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias. We sought to assess diastolic function in MD patients. Echocardiography-Doppler was performed in Steinert's patients and in a control group completed by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). Twenty-six patients with S...
متن کاملAltered diastolic function and aortic stiffness in Alzheimer’s disease
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is closely linked to cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS Echocardiographic studies were performed, including left ventricular diastolic functions, left and right atrial conduction times, and arterial stiffness parameters, namely stiffness index, pressure-strain elastic modulus, and distensibility, on 29 patients with AD and 24 age-matched individuals with ...
متن کاملAssessment of Diastolic Function in Congenital Heart Disease
Diastolic function is an important component of left ventricular (LV) function which is often overlooked. It can cause symptoms of heart failure in patients even in the presence of normal systolic function. The parameters used to assess diastolic function often measure flow and are affected by the loading conditions of the heart. The interpretation of diastolic function in the context of congen...
متن کاملTwisting, untwisting and diastolic function in aortic valve disease.
Global and regional deformation of left ventricular muscle tissue is sensitive to a variety of cardiac disorders such as coronary artery disease and pressure–load hypertrophy. In the domain of coronary artery disease, changes in local wall motion and thickening may occur in acute and chronic myocardial infarction, and during stress-induced myocardial ischaemia. Under conditions of pressure over...
متن کاملRight ventricular diastolic function in chronic obstructive lung disease.
Early detection of diastolic dysfunction in chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) patients could have great prognostic value. Echocardiography has been shown to be a useful technique in studying left ventricular diastolic function. A noninvasive method of studying right ventricular diastolic function has not yet been reported. Pulsed Doppler echocardiography was used to assess right ventricul...
