The Left Ventricle

There is still much uncertainty about the pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure, effective treatment has not surfaced yet while it has a similar high mortality and morbidity rate when compared to systolic heart failure. One of the characteristics of diastolic heart failure is an increased LV diastolic stiffness. There are several important measurements echocardiographic measurement to estimate cardiac diastolic performance.

  • Data are expressed as mean ± SD (95% confidence interval). Note that for e´ velocity in subjects aged 16 to 20 years, values overlap with those for subjects aged 21 to 40 years. This is because e´ increases progressively with age in children and adolescents. Therefore, the e´ velocity is higher in a normal 20-year-old than in a normal 16-year-old, which results in a somewhat lower average e´ value when subjects aged 16 to 20 years are considered.[1]
  • *Standard deviations are not included because these data were computed, not directly provided in the original articles from which they were derived.

Schematic diastolic filling patterns

A patient with dyspnea, preserved systolic LV function, dilated left atrium and elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure, without any significant mitral valve disease that could explain these findings, is the patient that requires an intensified search for diastolic LV dysfunction.
