In order to study the influence of various kinds of left ventricular hypertrophy on left ventricular filling pattern, 20 patients (five dilated cardiomyopathy, five hypertension, five end-stage renal disease, five hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and five normals were studied by M-mode and pulsed 2D-Doppler echocardiography. Left ventricular dimensions, volumes and mass were derived from standard M-mode echocardiograms. Doppler velocity measurements of mitral inflow provided calculation of left ventricular diastolic filling parameters. While left ventricular diastolic function bore no relation to the impairment of left ventricular systolic function, there was a statistically significant correlation of left ventricular mass/volume ratio and impairment of left ventricular diastolic function. In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the parameters varied widely, and additional factors seem to determine left ventricular diastolic function in this group.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
