Measurement of diastolic left ventricular function with ultra-fast phase contrast MRI
Introduction MRI is the accepted gold standard for assessment of left ventricular systolic function; however, no standards are available to assess diastolic function at MRI. E/A and E/ e’ ratios are currently used in echocardiography to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function. Measuring these ratios with phase contrast MRI may provide a complementary approach to assessing left ventricular ...
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 کاملVortex Ring Formation in Diastolic Dysfunction: Phase Contrast MRI of Left Ventricular Filling
Introduction The formation of vortices during left ventricular (LV) filling (Fig. 1) has been noted in several investigations using phase contrast (PC) MRI [1,2], but the effect of diastolic dysfunction (DD) on vortex formation has not been investigated. We hypothesize that impaired relaxation (IR) and increased stiffness of the LV wall in DD, will substantially alter the kinetics of the vortic...
متن کاملModulating 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 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...
