Quantitative Hydrodynamics Analysis of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction using Color M-Mode Echocardiography
Numerous studies have shown that cardiac diastolic dysfunction and diastolic filling play a critical role in dictating overall cardiac health and demonstrated that the filling wave propagation speed is a significant index of the severity of diastolic dysfunction. However, the governing flow physics …

Studies of Stented Arteries and Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Using Experimental and Clinical Analysis with Data Augmentation
… The second set of experiments investigated Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (LVDD) using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (pcMRI). Using this technique, ten patients with and without LVDD were scanned and a 2D portrait of blood flow through their heart was obtained. To augment …

Hydrodynamics of Cardiac Diastole
Left ventricular diastole (filling) is a complex process with many features and coupled compensatory mechanisms which coordinate to maintain optimal filling and ejection of the left ventricle. Diastolic filling is controlled by the left ventricular recoil, relaxation, and compliance as well as …

Dispersive Characteristics of Left Ventricle Filling Waves
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is any abnormality in the filling of the left ventricle (LV). Despite the prevalence of this disease, it remains difficult to diagnose, mainly due to inherent compensatory mechanisms and a limited physical understanding of the filling process. LV …

Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism
… between glucose metabolism and myocardial dysfunction, risk factor burden and CVD events in middle-aged and elderly subjects. The hypothesis tested was that similar associations would be observed in elderly as in younger populations, although the associations would be weaker with advancing …
