Left atrial phasic function interacts to support left ventricular filling during exercise in healthy athletes.
We studied the contribution of phasic left atrial (LA) function to left ventricular (LV) filling during exercise. We hypothesized that reduced LV filling time at moderate-intensity exercise limits LA passive emptying and increases LA active emptying. Twenty endurance-trained males (55 ± 6 yr) were studied at rest and during light- (∼100 beats/min) and moderate-intensity (∼130 beats/min) exercis...
متن کاملArterial stiffness in assessment of impaired left atrial function
Arterial stiffness arises as a result of structural and functional changes in the vascular system wall (1). Its measure has gained importance in recent years in the evaluation of vascular risk due to its important correlation with some of the target organ damage that causes hypertension (2, 3) as well as in a non-hypertensive population (4). The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) is ver...

The 37-month matrix for the distribution of events and the presence of coronary calcium for asymptomatic men is detailed in Table 1. Finally, assuming a sensitivity of 30%, a specificity of 98%, and a 10-year event risk of 10%, the positive predictive value of a non-0 calcium score would be 13.5%, and the negative predictive value of a 0 calcium score would be 99%, numbers in line with publishe...

متن کاملLeft atrial function: pathophysiology, echocardiographic assessment, and clinical applications.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF LEFT ATRIAL MECHANICAL FUNCTION Atrial function, in a close interdependence with left ventricular (LV) function, plays a key role in maintaining an optimal cardiac performance. The left atrium (LA) modulates LV filling through its reservoir, conduit, and booster pump function, whereas LV function influences LA function throughout the cardiac cycle. The LA can act to increase ...
