This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and significance of diastolic left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction in mild to moderate systemic hypertension. Rest and exercise …

A number of recent community-based epidemiologic studies suggest that 40% to 50% of the
cases of heart failure have preserved left ventricular systolic function. Although diastolic …

Left ventricular systolic function does not correlate well with functional class in patients with
dilated cardiomyopathy. To determine whether the correlation is better with Doppler indexes …

In 54 consecutive patients, ages 59±11 years, the transmitral diastolic flow velocity profile
was derived by means of pulsed Doppler echocardiography simultaneously with right-sided …

LV systolic function and dilation after Ml have been extensively studied and have been
related to heart failure and cardiac mortality. In recent years, it has been increasingly …

Abnormal left ventricular (LV) filling may exist in early stages of hypertension. Whether this
finding is related to LV hypertrophy is currently controversial. This study was undertaken to …

To assess left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in children with systemic hypertension, 11
patients with hypertension (mean blood pressure 99 mm Hg) and 7 normal patients (mean …

The importance of systolic ventricular dysfunction in the genesis of the signs and symptoms
of congestive heart failure has long been recognized. It has only been in the last decade that …
