Accentuation by Catecholamines
Background. Efficient early diastolic filling is essential for normal cardiac function. Diastolic suction, as evidenced by a decreasing left ventricular pressure during early filling, could result from restoring forces (the release of potential energy stored during systolic deformation) dependent on myofilament relaxation. Although these restoring forces have been envisioned within individual m...
متن کاملLeft ventricular untwisting rate by speckle tracking echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Recent studies validated the measurement of left ventricular (LV) untwisting rate (UR) by speckle tracking echocardiography. A few reports suggest that it may provide additional noninvasive insight into LV diastolic function. METHODS AND RESULTS Simultaneous echocardiographic imaging and LV pressure measurements (7F Millar catheters) were performed in 8 adult dogs. Loading conditio...
متن کاملLeft ventricular untwisting in athlete's heart: key role in early diastolic filling?
Untwisting contributes to left ventricular filling through suction generation. We sought to investigate diastolic function and untwisting dynamics in different forms of left ventricular hypertrophy: in athlete's heart and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Elite athletes in kayaking, canoeing and rowing (n=28), patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, n=15) and healthy sedentary volunteers (n=...
متن کاملLeft ventricular torsional dynamics in aortic stenosis: relationship between left ventricular untwisting and filling pressures. A two-dimensional speckle tracking study.
AIMS The contribution of left ventricular (LV) untwisting to LV suction and early-diastolic filling was previously demonstrated, but this was not yet tested in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). We sought to assess the relationship between LV untwisting and LV filling pressures in patients with severe AS and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using speckle tracking echocardiograp...
متن کاملVentricular untwisting: a temporal link between left ventricular relaxation and suction.
Left ventricular (LV) untwisting starts early during the isovolumic relaxation phase and proceeds throughout the early filling phase, releasing elastic energy stored by the preceding systolic deformation. Data relating untwisting, relaxation, and intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPG), which represent another manifestation of elastic recoil, are sparse. To understand the interaction between...
