Modulating Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Although both dopamine and dobutamine are potent positive inotropic agents, multiple studies indicate that dopamine may produce a rise in left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, while dobutamine often has the opposite effect. To ascertain the pharmacological and hemodynamic mechanisms responsible for the elevation in LV filling pressure observed with dopamine, we administered incremental infusi...
متن کاملLEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
متن کاملImpact of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction on left atrial volume and function: a volumetric analysis.
AIMS Diastolic dysfunction may result in elevation of left ventricular (LV) and atrial pressures, resulting in left atrial (LA) remodelling. We examined the effects of LV diastolic dysfunction on LA volume and function. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured LA volume and function in 83 patients with normal LV systolic function. The LV diastolic function grade was defined using traditional Doppler m...
متن کاملDeleterious effect of right ventricular apical pacing on left ventricular diastolic function and the impact of pre-existing diastolic disease.
AIMS Right ventricular apex (RVA) pacing may have deleterious effects on left ventricular (LV) systolic function, but its impact on LV diastolic function has not been explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-seven patients with sinus node dysfunction and ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 50% with permanent RVA pacing were randomly programmed to V-sense and V-pace modes and examined by echocardiography. Ti...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Approximately half of patients with a diagnosis of heart failure have a normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) without valve disease which is defined as diastolic heart failure (DHF), because it is attributed to LV diastolic dysfunction.[2] Studies examining prevalence of diastolic heart failure in hospitalized patients or in patients undergoing outpatient diag‐ nostic screening an...
