Left ventricular pacing minimizes diastolic ventricular interaction, allowing improved preload-dependent systolic performance.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) pacing improves hemodynamics in patients with heart failure. We hypothesized that at least part of this benefit occurs by minimization of external constraint to LV filling from ventricular interaction. METHODS AND RESULTS We present median values (interquartile ranges) for 13 heart failure patients with LV pacing systems implanted for New York Heart Associatio...
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 کاملLeft Ventricular Diastolic Performance
We used first-pass radionuclide angiocardiography to assess filling fraction during the first third of diastole, peak filling rate and peak filling rate during the first third of diastole as indexes of left ventricular diastolic performance at rest and after upright bicycle exercise in 32 normal patients and 68 patients with coronary artery disease. The mean filling fraction was unchanged from ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Hypertrophy Systolic Versus Diastolic Determinants
Background. Experimental studies indicate that in addition to diastolic dysfunction, hypertrophied myocardium can display depressed contractile responses, particularly at rapid heart rates, compounding reserve limitations. This study tests whether such abnormalities exist in intact human subjects at physiological paced rates and, if so, whether they are linked to simultaneous rate-dependent det...
متن کاملInfluence of Preload Reduction on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Hemodialysis Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess how the preload reduction a#ects left ventricular LV diastolic function in hemodialysis patients with LV hypertrophy. Methods: Subjects included 14 patients with LV hypertrophy receiving hemodialysis. The subjects underwent echocardiographic and pulsed Doppler examinations before and after hemodialysis, and the data were analyzed to determine ...
