Analysis of left ventricular diastolic function.

چکیده
Our understanding of left ventricular diastolic function has evolved with our understanding of Doppler echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular filling dynamics. Left ventricular diastolic function consists of several variables which affect the Doppler echocardiographic recordings in a complex way. While there are still limitations with the non-invasive assessment of left ventricular diastolic function and filling pressures by Doppler echocardiography, great progress has been made and careful interpretation of properly obtained Doppler recordings can give clinically relevant information concerning left ventricular diastolic function, filling pressures, and prognosis in patients with cardiac disease.

LEFT 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...

Objective: The present study investigated the effects of 10-week High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and quercetin consumption on dimension and functional left ventricular adaptations in men with hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental randomized, placebo‑controlled and double‑blind s...
متن کاملDiastolic left ventricular functional indices: Comparison between gated myocardial perfusion SPECT and echocardiography
Introduction: Many patients have only diastolic dysfunction without any abnormality in systolic function. We compared cardiac diastolic parameters obtained by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (Gated SPECT) with those evaluated by echocardiography. Methods: Forty-nine patients (aged 37-85 years, 19 males and 30 women) underwent Gated SPECT and echocardiogr...

Background: Cardiovascular problems including arterial hypertension, coronary artery diseases, congestive heart failure are prevalent among chronic hemodialyzed patients. Ultrafiltration of hemodialyzed patient's serum, which culminating in intravascular volume reduction, is frequently used during hemodialysis. One of the restrictions of the echocardiographic evaluation of the diastolic heart f...
متن کاملDoppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz
Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...

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...
