Left ventricular midwall mechanics in systemic arterial hypertension. Myocardial function is depressed in pressure-overload hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) midwall geometry has been described conventionally as the sum of the chamber radius and half of the wall thickness; this convention is based on the assumption of uniform transmural thickening during systole. However, theoretical considerations and experimental data indicate that the inner half (inner shell) of the LV wall thickens more than the outer half (outer...
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 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 کاملResveratrol Suppresses Cardiac Renin Angiotensin System in the Late Phase of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Background and objectives: Resveratrol(3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural polyphenole phytoalexin which exerts potential cardioprotective effects, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects are still unknown. Cardiac renin angiotensin system (RAS) over-activation plays an important role in pathogenesis of left ventricula...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy improves cardiac function in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
1. The influence of different arterial pressures on the relationship between diastolic filling pressure and stroke volume was studied during pharmacological cardiac nerve blockade in adult, anaesthetized spontaneously hypertensive rats in comparison with matched normotensive Wistar--Kyoto rats. 2. Peak stroke volumes, obtained by rapid blood volume expansion were similar in both types of rat, d...
