چکیده
Diastolic dysfunction may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In this article, an overview of the pathophysiology of diastolic dysfunction is discussed and the findings of Doppler echocardiography used to aid in its diagnosis are reviewed.

متن کاملEchocardiographic changes after myocardial infarction in a model of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
To determine the early and late effects of myocardial infarction on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in the rabbit postinfarction model, male New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to ligation of the circumflex artery or sham operation. Serial echocardiographic and Doppler studies were performed on both groups of animals at baseline and 1 h and 3 wk after surgery ( n = 10 for ...

Introduction: In order to assess echocardiographic left ventricular functional indices in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), after L-T4 withdrawal (short-term overt hypothyroidism) and during TSH suppressive therapy, we have evaluated cardiac hemodynamics in a single cohort study. Methods: 24 patients with DTC were studied in two phases: 1: at least 4 weeks after L-T4 withd...
متن کاملEchocardiographic evaluation of diastolic parameters in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Echocardiography is a valuable tool for the evaluation of systolic and diastolic cardiac function. A high correlation between measurements of diastolic mitral inflow parameters analyzed with Doppler echocardiography and invasive methods makes the former valuable. The aim of this study was to ascertain if significant differences occur in diastolic myocardial parameters between dogs with no heart...
