Abstract:
The paper analyzes a new approach to evaluating myocardial systolic and diastolic function, which is based on recording of the rate of myocardial displacement in different phases of a cardiac cycle. Changes in the rate of vector movements in a period of isovolumic contraction and relaxation are shown on ample clinical materials in both healthy individuals and patients with coronary heart disease. There is evidence for a significant difference in the performance of a stress test by healthy individuals and patients with a low coronary circulatory reserve.

Imbalances in Cardiac Output
CHF can occur due to the failure of either side of the heart. Left-side failure leads to pulmonary congestion—the right side continues to send blood...

Physiology of the Heart: The Cardiac Cycle
Diastole: The Relaxation Phase
During diastole, all four heart chambers relax. The atrioventricular (AV) valves open, and the semilunar valves close. This phase sees the lowest chamber pressures, promoting ventricular filling. Venous blood enters the heart through the...
