Transthoracic echocardiography showed a hyperdynamic left ventricle with symmetric wall thickening (17 mm), systolic intracavitary ... wall throughout the cardiac cycle) showed not only severe ...

Simply, the “cardiac cycle” is a way doctors have of dividing the work of the heart into two phases — the diastolic phase and the systolic phase. During the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle, the ...

IABP systems are typically inserted within the multidisciplinary environment that is the cardiac ... pressure Diastolic pressure augmentation is typically greater than systolic pressure reduction ...

However, if the stimulation signals are always applied when the heart is contracting (during systole), a strong effect can be observed – much stronger than if stimulation is applied during the ...

and its changes in time in relation to the cardiac cycle. During diastole and prior to the aortic valve opening, red cells in the aorta are orientated in a random distribution with increased ...

The post-systolic index, which is calculated from a ratio—([peak post-systolic strain]−[end-systolic strain])/(peak strain or maximum strain change during the cardiac cycle)—is widely ... peak ...

Heart rate (HR) has an impact on the central blood pressure (BP) wave shape and is related to pulse wave velocity and therefore to timing and duration of systole and diastole ... becomes reduced with ...

Experts warn that this early stage of heart failure, classified as Stage B, often goes unnoticed but can lead to severe outcomes ...

This uses a high tube current for a narrow temporal window around end diastole to obtain detailed anatomical images, and a low tube current for the remainder of the cardiac cycle to obtain functional ...

When the ventricles contract (systole) they squeeze blood out of the heart and into the arteries—especially the aorta. When the ventricles relax and expand back to their original size (diastole), they ...
