Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction and Prognosis

Year: 2012

Type: editorial

Abstract: T o provide for tissue perfusion without pulmonary con- gestion, the left ventricle (LV) must eject an adequate stroke volume at arterial pressure (systolic function) and fill without requiring an abnormally increased left atrial pressure (diastolic function).Systolic and diastolic function must be adequate to meet the needs of the body both at rest and during stress (reserve capacity).
