The natural history of isolated left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
W.C. Brogan 3d, L.D. Hillis, E.D. Flores, R.A. Lange
Isolated left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction
was defined in this paper by the following criteria:
(i) an elevated LV end-diastolic pressure with
normal LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes;
(ii) a normal LV ejection fraction; and (iii) no
coronary artery or valvular disease...
Evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function from the pattern
of left ventricular filling
W.C. Little, J.G. Warner Jr, K.M. Rankin, D.W. Kitzman, C.P. Cheng
Reviewed in this article are the left ventricular
(LV) Doppler echocardiographic filling
patterns and underlying physiologic
mechanisms in normal hearts and those with
diastolic dysfunction...
Congestive heart failure with normal left ventricular systolic
function. Clinical approaches to the diagnosis and treatment
of diastolic heart failure
R.S. Vasan, E.J. Benjamin, D. Levy
This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment
of congestive heart failure (CHF),
emphasizing the importance of diastolic heart
failure or diastolic dysfunction...
Relaxation-systolic pressure relation. A load-independent
assessment of left ventricular contractility
T.C. Gillebert, A.F. Leite-Moreira, S.G. De Hert
Gillebert et al set out here to review the
influence of loading conditions on the
decrease in left ventricular pressure (LVP)
during late systole and early diastole...
Diastolic dysfunction in congestive heart failure
W. Grossman
Grossman, in his comprehensive review of diastolic
dysfunction, summarizes the pathophysiological
features of this syndrome...
How to diagnose diastolic heart failure
European Study Group on Diastolic Heart Failure
This report of the European Study Group on
Diastolic Heart Failure proposes guidelines for
the diagnosis of diastolic heart failure using
well-defined cutoff values of indices of left
ventricular (LV) function obtainable during cardiac
catheterization or during noninvasive cardiac imaging,
and summarizes existing evidence of abnormal LV relaxation,
filling, and diastolic distensibility and stiffness in different
cardiac diseases frequently characterized by diastolic heart
failure...
Diastolic failure: pathophysiology and therapeutic implications
D.L. Brutsaert, S.U. Sys, T.C. Gillebert
Diastole and diastolic failure are defined,
in this classic review, from a physiologic
point of view, and a description is given of
the pathophysiology of pressure- or volumeoverloaded
hearts...
Left ventricular hypertrophy and impaired diastolic filling in
essential hypertension. Diastolic mechanisms for systolic dysfunction
during exercise
A. Cuocolo, F.L. Sax, J.E. Brush, B.J. Maron, S.L. Bacharach, R.O. Bonow
In many patients with essential hypertension, in the
absence of coronary artery disease, left ventricular
(LV) systolic function is normal at rest, but may
respond abnormally during exercise...
Nonuniform course of left ventricular pressure fall
and its regulation by load and contractile state
A.F. Leite-Moreira, T.C. Gillebert
This article reports the results of experiments
examining the effect of changes in load on the
course of left ventricular (LV) pressure fall...
Restrictive left ventricular filling pattern in dilated
cardiomyopathy assessed by Doppler echocardiography:
clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic correlations and
prognostic implications. Heart Muscle Disease Study Group
B. Pinamonti, A. Di Lenarda, G. Sinagra, F. Camerini
In systolic heart failure, symptoms of pulmonary
congestion and dyspnea on exertion are signs of
concomitant diastolic failure. In fact, delayed left
ventricular (LV) pressure decay affecting the diastolic
pressure-volume relationship is often the first manifestation
of impaired systolic function...
