Left ventricular function during pregnancy.
As emphasized by Watkins et al.,9 the variability in plasma renin activity in CHF is explained by the degree of compensation in maintaining arterial pressure and plasma volume; the latter measurement was not obtained in the Curtiss or Gavras study. The observations in these two recent studies reaffirm the importance of the RAA system in maintaining systemic vascular resistance (SVR) in CHF. Cur...
متن کاملLeft ventricular diastolic function in normal human pregnancy.
BACKGROUND Little information is available about changes in left ventricular diastolic function during pregnancy. We used mitral inflow and pulmonary venous flow profiles to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function in 37 healthy pregnant women 26 to 41 years old (mean, 32 years). METHODS AND RESULTS Echocardiographic studies were performed at the end of each trimester. Eight subjects (con...
متن کاملEffect of therapy on left ventricular function in hypertension.
1. Twelve untreated hypertensive patients whose blood pressure was 171.8 +/- 5.5 mmHg systolic and 119.7 +/- 3.4 mmHg diastolic (mean +/- SEM) were treated aggressively with diuretics plus other antihypertensive agents. Echocardiograms were performed before, and 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after therapy. Blood pressures were lowered to an average of 142/98 mmHg over the 6 month period. 2. Me...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in mild hypertension after adrenergic blockade.
We previously used the Doppler transmitral flow velocity ratio A/E (A = late ventricular filling peak velocity; E = early ventricular filling peak velocity) and the age-adjusted ratio A/E/Age to detect left ventricular filling abnormalities in untreated mild hypertension. This study is a double-blind assessment of the effect of combined alpha- and beta-blockade (labetalol) and beta-blockade alo...
متن کاملInfluence of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function on Exercise-induced Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background: Exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (EIPH) can be caused not only by pulmonary vas‐ culopathy, but also by a significant increase in left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. This study evaluated the influence of LV diastolic function on EIPH in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: The study included 222 SSc patients (age 58.9 ± 13.1 years, 85% female) and 30 controls ...
