"Diastolic heart failure" or heart failure caused by subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
OBJECTIVES To determine whether patients with suspected heart failure but preserved systolic function, as determined by conventional echocardiographic measures (often said to have "diastolic heart failure), might have subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction detectable by a new measure of left ventricular systolic function-left ventricular systolic atrioventricular plane displacement. DES...
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...
متن کاملPeripartum heart failure caused by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: a case report.
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. The current definition of peripartum cardiomyopathy only includes patients with systolic dysfunction. We describe a 25-year-old nulligravid patient with heart failure, i.e. left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic dysfunction during the third trimester of pregnancy. She complained of dyspnea an...
متن کاملAortic stiffness is related to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in heart failure with normal ejection fraction as measured by MRI
INTODUCTION Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world and is the leading cause of hospitalization in older patients (1). However, over one third of patients with decompensated heart failure have normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function (heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF)). This condition occurs when LV filling and rela...
متن کاملLeft and right ventricular diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure: does one lead to the other?
Background and Objective Diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle is a mechanical abnormality diagnosed primarily by echocardiogram, and can be distinguished into three separate degrees based on the severity of reduction in passive compliance and active myocardial relaxation. Methods A literature search was performed for basic science studies, clinical studies and major practice guidelines o...
