Examples of diastolic

• The standard deviation was high, especially when the systolic time interval was elevated, producing extremely high predictions for diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure.

• Reported is a patient who was persistently mildly cyanosed due to diastolic right-to-left shunting.

• As a third consequence, there is a reciprocal influence of the diastolic function of the two ventricles through a widely patent oval foramen.

• Venous waveforms in the inferior vena cava and ductus venosus are triphasic with peaks corresponding to maximum systolic velocity, maximum diastolic velocity and atrial systole.

• In this study we examine the diastolic properties of the right ventricle in patients who have undergone definitive surgical repair.

• These indices, therefore, served as better indicators for changes in diastolic function of the right ventricle in this serial comparative study.

• On the basis of these findings, we discuss whether infants with ventricular septal defect do or do not have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

• Ventricular compliance was unchanged in their patients, but the time constant of ventricular relaxation was prolonged and, thus, early diastolic filling velocity was reduced.
