Abnormal left ventricular relaxation in hypertensive patients. 1980

F M Fouad, and R C Tarazi, and J H Gallagher, and W J MacIntyre, and S A Cook

1. The maximum rates of left ventricular ejection and filling were derived (Fourier analysis) from the left ventricular volume curve (99m technetium-human serum albumin gated blood pool studies) in 12 normotensive subjects and 15 hypertensive patients of matched age groups. 2. Average values of cardiac output, ejection fraction, heart rate and left ventricular ejection rate were not significantly different in the two groups. 3. Hypertensive patients had a slower rate of left ventricular filling (P < 0.05), suggesting diminished left ventricular compliance in hypertension.

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.

D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac

D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.
