Introduction to Diastolic Functional

Similar contributions of RWT as for LVMI to BP-associated LV diastolic functional changes were noted and the contribution of LVMI or RWT to BP-related alterations in diastolic function was similar in those participants not receiving antihypertensive therapy.

Ultimately, it is the systolic and diastolic functional characteristics of the ventricle that will determine its ability to maintain a normal cardiac output and symptom-free lifestyle.

LV and RV functional reserves were further assessed by the systolic functional reserve index (&Dgr;s × [1 − 1/s at baseline]) and diastolic functional reserve index (&Dgr;e × [1 − 1/e at baseline]).

Over the years, several studies have examined CMR-derived diastolic functional indices, including transmitral and pulmonary venous velocities, left ventricular and left atrial strain using myocardial tagging, and, more recently, feature tracking.

Diastolic functional assessment of myocardium using Doppler echocardiography plays an important role in its diagnosis.

Background Diastolic functional parameters and interventricular septal thickness are related to right ventricular dysfunction after anterior myocardial infarction.

Particularly, patients in the 2016 indeterminate group seemed to require a cardiac diastolic functional evaluation more frequently during and after surgery than those in the 2009 indeterminate group.

Multivariate regression analysis revealed the diastolic functional reserve index and the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) serum levels were independent predictors of peak VO2 (ß = +0.

, 3 times per week), significantly limited hypertrophic remodeling, defined by reductions in heart weight/body weight, and improved systolic and diastolic functional indices, including increases in %FS and e', and decreases E/e' (P < 0.

In HF, Ang-(1-12) has adverse effects and depresses LV systolic and diastolic functional performance.
