decreased left ventricular compliance means the left ventricles are stiffer , therefore they cannot relax properly hence end diastolic pressure will increase instead leading to increase preload
which depends on venous return and left ventricular compliance.
In cases of heart failure this this increased preload
will further transmit pressure
to the pulmonary vasculature.
in cases of volume hypertrophy ventricles dilates and therefore increased ventricular compliance.
What else can I help you with?
Decreased cardiac output elevated left ventricular filling pressure peripheral vasoconstriction and arterial hypotension are all hallmark signs of what?
heart failure...
When heart rate is increased the time of ventricular filling is?
. . . decreased.
What is the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
What could go wrong with the left ventrical?
The left ventricle can experience several issues, including left ventricular hypertrophy, where the heart muscle thickens, potentially leading to heart failure. It may also suffer from left ventricular dysfunction due to conditions like ischemic heart disease, resulting in inadequate blood pumping. Additionally, left ventricular dilatation can occur, leading to decreased contractility and increased risk of arrhythmias. These conditions can compromise overall heart function and affect systemic circulation.
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, in left ventricular hypertrophy, the apical beat may be shifted laterally and inferiorly due to the increase in left ventricular mass and displacement of the apex by the hypertrophied myocardium.
What is indicated by a negative lfft value?
A negative Left Ventricular Filling Pressure (LVFP) value, often referred to as a negative left atrial filling pressure, suggests that there is a reduced pressure in the left atrium, potentially indicating impaired diastolic filling of the left ventricle. This can occur in conditions such as hypovolemia or certain forms of heart failure. A negative value may also imply that the heart is unable to effectively fill due to decreased volume or compliance. It's crucial to interpret this value in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture.
What is left ventricular perfusion?
Left Ventricular dysfunction-A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall.
What is a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
When was the left ventricular assist device invented?
1982
What are the risks of a misfire of the left ventricle?
The risk of left ventricular misfire is a left ventricular free wall rupture. A misfire in either the right or the left ventricle of the heart is an electrical problem with the circuitry. These conditions are usually treated through angioplasty.
What can decrease the cardiac output?
The cardiac output can be decreased by decreasing the force of contraction of the ventricular myocardium and decreasing the heart rate.
What causes QRS complex to reverse?
left ventricular contraction
