Abnormal left ventricular relaxation in hypertensive patients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The maximum rates of left ventricular ejection and filling were derived (Fourier analysis) from the left ventricular volume curve (99m technetium-human serum albumin gated blood pool studies) in 12 normotensive subjects and 15 hypertensive patients of matched age groups. 2. Average values of cardiac output, ejection fraction, heart rate and left ventricular ejection rate were not significantly different in the two groups. 3. Hypertensive patients had a slower rate of left ventricular filling (P < 0.05), suggesting diminished left ventricular compliance in hypertension.

Comparison of Cardiac Function in Young Patients with Thalassemia Intermedia and Healthy Individuals Using Echocardiography Method
Background: Cardiac dysfunction due to chronic anemia and hemosiderosis are the major causes of death among patients with thalassemia intermedia. This study was performed to compare the cardiac function in thalassemia intermedia patients with normal subjects by means of echocardiography. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study performed on 22 patients affected by thalassemia int...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic performance in hypertensive subjects. Correlation with changes in left ventricular mass.
Left ventricular hypertrophy resulting from hypertension is accompanied by significant morbidity and mortality and in advanced stages may be irreversible. Hence, early detection of cardiac changes in hypertensive patients remains an important diagnostic goal. When the hypertrophy is mild or moderate, parameters of left ventricular diastolic function and measurements of left atrial size may faci...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in diabetes mellitus. I: Methodology, and prevalence and spectrum of abnormalities.
Frequent abnormalities of left ventricular function were detected in 212 established diabetic patients using non-invasive techniques. Diabetics without angina or heart failure (n = 185) were significantly different from normal subjects (n = 50) in beat-to-beat variation, ratio of pre-ejection period to left ventricular ejection time, pre-ejection period index, isovolumic relaxation time, and in...
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 کاملEchocardiographic features of malignant hypertension.
Computerised apex- and echocardiography was used to study left ventricular dimensions and function in 13 patients with untreated malignant hypertension and eight with severe benign hypertension. All patients had normal left ventricular cavity dimensions. Five benign hypertensives and malignant hypertensives with a previous history of hypertension had significant thickening of the septum and pos...
