  2. Diastolic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastolic_function

    Parallel to "diastolic function", the term "systolic function" is usually referenced in terms of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), which is the ratio of stroke volume and end-diastolic volume. [2] Due to the epidemic of heart failure, [3] particularly the cases determined as diastolic heart failure, it is increasingly urgent and ...

  3. Heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

    Heart failure with recovered ejection fraction (HFrecovEF or HFrecEF): patients previously with HFrEF with complete normalization of left ventricular ejection (≥50%). [64] [65] Heart failure may also be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic heart failure is a long-term condition, usually kept stable by the treatment of symptoms.

    Ultimately the ventricle walls need to be the right size relative to the size of the chamber in order for the heart to work effectively. Any major deviation from that can lead to heart failure. Alright, even though systolic failure is most common in left-sided heart failure, diastolic heart failure or filling dysfunction can also happen.

  6. Diastole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastole

    Diastole (/ d aɪ ˈ æ s t ə l i / dy-AST-ə-lee) is the relaxed phase of the cardiac cycle when the chambers of the heart are refilling with blood. The contrasting phase is systole when the heart chambers are contracting. Atrial diastole is the relaxing of the atria, and ventricular diastole the relaxing of the ventricles.

  7. Diabetic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_cardiomyopathy

    Defects in cellular processes such as autophagy and mitophagy are thought to contribute to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. [2] Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized functionally by ventricular dilation, enlargement of heart cells, prominent interstitial fibrosis and decreased or preserved systolic function [5] in the presence of a diastolic dysfunction.

  8. Talk:Diastolic heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Diastolic_heart_failure

    Heart Failure Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFPEF) is now the preferred term for Diastolic Heart Failure. This term was used in the 2016 European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Guidelines. "Diastolic Heart Failure" was the term used in papers published in the early 2000's <ref> Eur Heart J 2016;37:2129–2200.

  9. High-output heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-output_heart_failure

    There is a circulatory overload which may lead to pulmonary edema secondary to an elevated diastolic pressure in the left ventricle. These individuals usually have a normal systolic function but symptoms are those of heart failure. With time, this overload causes systolic failure. Ultimately cardiac output can be reduced to very low levels. [1]
