[Changes in the indices of left ventricular filling in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease].
With the purpose of examining particular characteristics of filling of the left ventricle in elderly IHD patients we evaluated essentially healthy persons, both young and of greater age, and elderly IND patients (exertional angina, II-III functional class), 20 subjects in each of the three groups of examines, by echocardiography followed by the echocardiograms processing on a computer. The greatest age-related changes were found for the phase of early filling. Also noted in IHD patients was a relatively prolonged atrial systole and shortened time of filling, reduction in the value for the index "duration of slow filling/duration of fast filling", increase in the volume rate of blood filling in the phase of slow filling.
