Diastolic tolerance to systolic pressures closely reflects systolic performance in patients with coronary heart disease

In animal experiments, elevating systolic pressures induces diastolic dysfunction and may contribute to congestion, a finding not yet translated to humans. Coronary surgery patients (63 +/- 8 years) were studied with left ventricular (LV) pressure (n = 17) or pressure volume (n = 3) catheters, immed...
