Do Continuous Flow LVADS Improve Diastolic Dysfunction?
Background: Ventricular assist devices are now used as a bridge to recovery/decision/transplant or as destination therapy in end-stage heart failure. Continued improvements in technology and pump design have made implantation an easier process with reduced operative risks and pumprelated adverse events. Considering the beneficial effects of these devices in the clinical setting, it seemed logic...
متن کاملDiastolic dysfunction.
Diastolic dysfunction of the heart is characterized by normal left ventricular contractility and normal ejection fraction, however ventricular relaxation is impaired. In systolic dysfunction, ventricular contractility and ejection fraction are reduced, in addition to impaired relaxation. The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction is increased in the elderly, especially those who have had inadequat...
متن کامل4D Flow Assessment of Vorticity in Right Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
Diastolic dysfunction, a leading cause of heart failure in the US, is a complex pathology which manifests morphological and hemodynamic changes in the heart and circulatory system. Recent advances in time-resolved phase-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (4D Flow) have allowed for characterization of blood flow in the right ventricle (RV) and right atrium (RA), including calculation of...
متن کامل[Diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure].
There are frequent clinical Cases in Cardiological practice when cardiac failure develops together with normal systolic function of left ventricle. In these patients after revealing the diastolic dysfunction the heart diastolic failure is diagnosed, but in frequent cases this diagnosis is based on exclusion method. According to Framingham data the number of patients with clinically manifested d...
متن کاملEarly diastolic filling dynamics in diastolic dysfunction
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the rate of peak early mitral inflow velocity and the peak early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocities in normal controls and to compare them with subjects with diastolic dysfunction. METHODS The relationship between early passive diastolic transmitral flow and peak early mitral annular velocity in the normal and i...
