Impairment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function as well as systolic function appear very early in the course of heart disease. Recent HF guidelines, therefore, place special emphasis on the ...

Thus, it is important to remember which lesions result in systolic murmurs and which result in diastolic murmurs. Stenosis of the aortic or pulmonic valves will result in a systolic murmur as ...

These changes set the stage for isolated systolic hypertension, diastolic dysfunction and heart failure, atrioventricular conduction defects, and aortic valve calcification, all diseases seen in ...

cTnT data are presented descriptively. Conclusions: In this cohort, LV systolic function was not significantly altered after intermittent activity. A transient depression in global diastolic filling ...

Diastolic murmurs include aortic and pulmonic ... simply due to the large stroke volume passing through the aortic valve with each systolic contraction of the LV. Pulmonic regurgitation produces ...

Stiffened arteries can lead to an increase in systolic blood pressure and a decrease in diastolic blood pressure. It causes a leak in one of your heart's valves which stops blood from pumping ...

The diagnosis of HCM was excluded by echocardiography in 819 (98%) on the basis of an LV wall thickness <12 mm, absence of systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet causing LV ...
