[Diastolic filling of the left ventricle in relation to the degree of its hypertrophy in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The features of diastolic filling of the left ventricle (LV) were examined in relation to the nature of its hypertrophy in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 110 male patients with CHD concurrent with essential hypertension or without it who underwent contrast ventriculography in order to determine LV diastolic stiffness. Radionuclide ventriculography was performed in 49 patients at rest and during exercise.
