Impairment of diastolic function by shortened filling period in severe left ventricular disease.
A dilated left ventricle with reduced ejection fraction is usually attributed to impaired systolic function. To investigate the possibility that ventricular filling might also be disturbed, M mode echocardiograms, phonocardiograms, and Doppler cardiograms were recorded in 30 patients with ventricular disease of varying cause. All but four had functional mitral regurgitation. The size of the lef...
متن کاملRelation of filling pattern to diastolic function in severe left ventricular disease.
M mode and Doppler echocardiograms, apex cardiograms, and phonocardiograms were recorded in 50 patients with severe ventricular disease of varying aetiology to examine how left ventricular filling is disturbed by cavity dilatation. The size of the left ventricular cavity was increased in all with a mean (SD) transverse diameter of 7.2 (0.8) cm at end diastole and 6.3 (0.8) cm at end systole. Al...
متن کاملLEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
متن کاملModulating Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Although both dopamine and dobutamine are potent positive inotropic agents, multiple studies indicate that dopamine may produce a rise in left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, while dobutamine often has the opposite effect. To ascertain the pharmacological and hemodynamic mechanisms responsible for the elevation in LV filling pressure observed with dopamine, we administered incremental infusi...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass grafting in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction: predictive significance of left ventricular diastolic filling pattern.
AIMS The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling impairment on postoperative results in patients (pts) with low LV ejection fraction (EF) (<35%) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS The study covered 56 patients (mean age 58.9 +/- 17.1 years). Two dimensional Doppler echocardiographic investigations were performed pre- an...
