erasmusmc.nl Objective To evaluate changes in left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) parameters and their associated risk factors over a period of 11 years among community-dwelling women and men.

3 Doppler echocardiography is appropriately and widely used for assessment of parameters in patients presenting with LV diastolic function. Cross-sectional study data were obtained from the database ...

The research compares the efficacy of CCTA with the traditional method of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in evaluating LV diastolic function, revealing promising results for CCTA as a valuable ...

Echocardiography is a sensitive tool to detect early subclinical changes in LV function. Community-based studies revealed a higher than hitherto expected prevalence of LV systolic and diastolic ...

Background Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to an increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and potentially right heart failure in healthy individuals and patients with respiratory diseases.

While the left ventricular end-diastolic area as determined by transesophageal echocardiography is a ... hypotension may cause a decline in renal function and oliguria. While primary renal ...

Non-invasive high volume-rate echocardiography was shown to be a novel but efficacious means of assessing cardiac function in a single heartbeat. Evidence Rating Level: 3 (Average) Currently, there ...

Experts warn that this early stage of heart failure, classified as Stage B, often goes unnoticed but can lead to severe outcomes ...

Executive function describes a set of cognitive processes and mental skills that help an individual plan, monitor, and successfully execute their goals. The “executive functions,” as they’re ...

LV diastolic dysfunction was found in 15/43 patients (35% ... microvascular and fibrotic components. Compared with echocardiography, MRI appears to provide additional information by visualising ...
