#EchoFirst & diastolic dysfunction - what do you know about:
✅hydraulic forces
✅myocardial stiffness
✅damping
Learn more in this talk I recently gave at Echo Australia 2022.

#BoingBoing
Did you know that #HydraulicForces:
✅are related to the relative size of the LA in relation to the LV?
✅contribute to left ventricular diastolic function?
✅associate independently with survival?
Myocardial #stiffness and #damping are mechanistic ⚙️properties of the LV that can be estimated by measuring the Doppler 🔊 E wave peak velocity, acceleration time ⏲️, and deceleration time ⏲️.
More in this separate thread:
Not all diastolic dysfunction manifests in the same way. HFpEF has increased damping, whereas HFrEF has increased stiffness.
