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.
