BACKGROUND Allograft dysfunction is a common finding early after heart transplant (HT). We sought to assess the recovery of left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function during the first year after HT in children and young adults using pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed serially performed echocardiography in 44 pediatric HT recipients (median age: 7.3 years at...
Normal left ventricular (LV) filling occurs rapidly early in diastole caused by a progressive pressure gradient within the ventricle and with a low left atrial pressure. This normal diastolic function is altered in patients with heart failure. Such impairment of diastolic filling is manifested as an abrupt deceleration of the early filling wave velocity. Although variations within the early fil...
OBJECTIVE To assess the early changes in left ventricular diastolic and systolic function due to anthracycline treatment. DESIGN A prospective study of cardiac function by radionuclide angiography in adults before and one month after the end of anthracycline treatment. PATIENTS 60 patients without cardiac disease treated with chemotherapy containing anthracycline. METHODS Cardiac function...
BACKGROUND The role of right ventricular (RV) diastolic stiffness in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is not well established. Therefore, we investigated the presence and possible underlying mechanisms of RV diastolic stiffness in PAH patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Single-beat RV pressure-volume analyses were performed in 21 PAH patients and 7 control subjects to study RV diastolic stiffn...
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is found to be associated with deterioration of the left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functions. One of the factors for this impairment is myocardial fibrosis. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes are found to be associated with myocardial fibrosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate if the presence of fQRS on electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect prono...
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is a fundamental impairment in congestive heart failure (CHF). This study examined LV diastolic function in the canine model of CHF induced by chronic coronary embolization (CCE). Dogs were implanted with coronary catheters (both left anterior descending and circumflex arteries) for CCE and instrumented for measurement of LV pressure and dimension. He...
The sympathetic overdrive that characterizes essential hypertension is potentiated when left ventricular hypertrophy or congestive heart failure is detected. No information exists, however, on whether this is the case also for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In 17 untreated hypertensive subjects with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (age: 47.7 2.9 years, mean SEM), we measured sym...
The sympathetic overdrive that characterizes essential hypertension is potentiated when left ventricular hypertrophy or congestive heart failure is detected. No information exists, however, on whether this is the case also for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. In 17 untreated hypertensive subjects with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (age: 47.7+/-2.9 years, mean+/-SEM), we measured...
Stiffness- and relaxation-based diastolic function (DF) assessment can characterize the presence, severity, and mechanism of dysfunction. Although frequency-based characterization of arterial function is routine (input impedance, characteristic impedance, arterial wave reflection), DF assessment via frequency-based methods incorporating optimization/efficiency criteria is lacking. By definition...
The idea that diastolic dysfunction may give rise to symptoms of cardiac disease independent of any impairment of systolic function is not new, and was appreciated centuries ago.2 Traditional definitions of heart failure have focused on abnormalities of systolic or pump function ofthe heart, emphasizing the failure of cardiac output to meet the metabolic requirements of the body at peak workloa...
