Evaluation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function by Echocardiography
The normal cardiac cycle consists of two phases, systole and diastole, which are repeated over time to maintain an adequate cardiac output. The systole has been traditionally regarded as the main capital phase, leaving at diastole as a secondary process and almost forgotten. However, today we know that diastole is a crucial stage in the functioning of the heart. Its dysfunction can lead even in...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
J Echocardiogr Vol.6, No.3, 2008 57 The concepts for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function were established in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and necessitate the use of high fidelity pressure and conductance catheters. The most recent [1] set of criteria (Figure 1) for diagnosing diastolic heart failure (DHF) include the presence of increased LV filling pressures (m...
متن کاملCardiac MRI correlates of diastolic left ventricular function assessment by echocardiography
Background Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) provides noninvasive measures of diastolic left ventricular (LV) function by assessing mitral inflow and mitral annular motion. Given the excellent spatial and temporal resolution of CMR, we developed a novel method to calculate several correlative measures of diastolic and systolic LV function. The maximum velocity of the atrioventricular junctio...
متن کاملA clinical approach to the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function by Doppler echocardiography: update 2003.
P atients with heart disease frequently have abnormalities of systolic function. However, it is now well recognised that abnormalities of diastolic function play a major role in producing the signs and symptoms of heart failure. 2 Thirty to fifty per cent of patients with heart failure have normal systolic function, implicating diastolic dysfunction as a major pathophysiologic abnormality. It i...
متن کاملLeft ventricular diastolic function and dysfunction: Central role of echocardiography
Comprehensive and precise assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function is necessary to establish, or exclude, heart failure as a cause or component of dyspnea. Echocardiography with Doppler readily assesses LV diastolic function; advantages include that echocardiography is non-invasive, does not require radiation, is portable, rapid, readily available, and in competent ha...
