Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and peak left atrial wall strain during left ventricular systole.
Kazuaki Wakami,Nobuyuki Ohte,Kaoru Asada,Hidekatsu Fukuta,Toshihiko Goto,Seiji Mukai,Hitomi Narita,Genjiro Kimura +7 more
TL;DR: Elevated LV end-diastolic pressure is associated with a decrease of peak LA wall strain in the longitudinal direction during LV systole, and this correlation was also significant in patients with preservedLV systolic function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical usefulness of carotid arterial wave intensity in assessing left ventricular systolic and early diastolic performance.
Nobuyuki Ohte,Hitomi Narita,Motoaki Sugawara,Kiyomi Niki,Takashi Okada,Akimitsu Harada,Junichiro Hayano,Genjiro Kimura +7 more
TL;DR: Wave intensity (WI) is a noninvasively obtained, clinically useful parameter for the evaluation of LV systolic and early diastolic performance at the same time and is demonstrated to reflect LV contractile performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of left ventricular early diastolic performance by color tissue Doppler imaging of the mitral annulus
TL;DR: Findings suggest that MAV during early diastole has a direct relation to LV elastic recoil as well as to LV relaxation, and gives important information regarding LV behavior in late systole to early diastsole where LV early diASTolic performance is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bilirubin as a prognostic marker in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
TL;DR: Elevated serum bilirubin is a risk factor for death in patients with PAH, and patients with hyperbilirubinemia had a worse functional class, higher right atrial pressure, and a higher plasma concentration of BNP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Striking effect of left ventricular systolic performance on propagation velocity of left ventricular early diastolic filling flow
TL;DR: It is suggested that left ventricular systolic performance may play a key role in generating a much faster PVE, especially in patients with relatively better LV syStolic performance.
