Diastolic Left Ventricular Dysfunction A Clinical Appraisal
Objective: In dilated cardiomyopathy and in athlete’s heart, progressive LV dilatation is accompanied by rightward displacement of thediastolic LV pressure–volume relation. In dilated cardiomyopathy, an increase in diastolic LV stiffness can limit this rightwarddisplacement thereby decreasing LV systolic performance. Because nitric oxide (NO) reduces diastolic LV stiffness, the present ...
متن کاملClinical relevance of right ventricular diastolic stiffness in pulmonary hypertension.
Right ventricular (RV) diastolic stiffness is increased in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. We investigated whether RV diastolic stiffness is associated with clinical progression and assessed the contribution of RV wall thickness to RV systolic and diastolic stiffness. Using single-beat pressure-volume analyses, we determined RV end-systolic elastance (Ees), arterial elastance (E...
متن کاملAssessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Sub-clinical Hypothyroidism
BACKGROUND Adverse cardiovascular effect of hypothyroidism has been identified in many studies. Early identification of patients with sub-clinical hypothyroidism may lead to early treatment and thereby favourable effect on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES To find out the association of sub clinical hypothyroidism and left ventricular dysfunction and also to find out relation...
متن کاملThe clinical quandary of left and right ventricular diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure
Diastolic heart failure is a common clinical entity that is indistinguishable from systolic heart failure without direct evaluation of left ventricular function. Diastolic heart failure is a clinical diagnosis in patients with signs and symptoms of heart failure but with preserved left ventricular function and normal ejection fraction, and is often seen in patients with a long-standing history ...
متن کاملDiastolic heart failure, diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and exercise intolerance.
The phenomenon of “diastolic heart failure” is rightly receiving greater attention (1–4); community-based studies such as those in Framingham (5) and Olmsted County (6) show that up to 50% of older persons with heart failure do not have impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic function to account for this, and that the condition is usually associated with LV hypertrophy and is preceded by elevat...
