Sentence examples for impair left from inspiring English sources

In previous studies, presence of other than the "cardiac-specific" VGSC had been suspected by the fact that tetrodotoxin (TTX) had been shown to impair left ventricular function.

A failing right ventricle may also impair left ventricular filling during inspiration.

Hence, disease states with an increased right ventricular afterload (eg acute pulmonary hypertension) will also impair left ventricular compliance.

In critically ill patients, diastolic dysfunction has been largely underdiagnosed despite many factors that can impair left ventricular relaxation.

Comorbid diabetes could impair left ventricular relaxation independently in patients with hypertension, which might not be improved solely by BP lowering.

Because of the interventricular dependence phenomenon, volume overload can dilate the RV so much that it may impair left ventricular function and the entire circulation.

We therefore proposed to select patients with a high pre-test probability for PAF for extended Holter monitoring by applying a recently described index of left atrial enlargement and impaired left atrial function as measured by transthoracic echocardiography [ 11].

Watz and colleagues [ 11] found that patients with COPD have an impaired left ventricular diastolic filling and an impaired global right ventricular function and that impaired left ventricular diastolic filling was independently associated with a reduced exercise tolerance.

We hypothesized that this flow restriction was primarily due to impaired left ventricular filling, caused by depressed right-to-left transpulmonary blood flow during VF [ 2].

SNX rats demonstrated chronic impairment of diastolic function as demonstrated by an elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure volume relationship (LV EDPVR), a marker of impaired left ventricular compliance (Fig. 6).

Impaired left ventricular function is associated with poor prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (MI).
