Abstract
Impaired left ventricular filling has been observed in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [1–5] and in pressure overload hypertrophy [1, 4, 6–12]. This impairment of left ventricular filling has been related to slow left ventricular pressure decay [13, 14], which prolongs isovolumic relaxation and impedes left ventricular inflow [15, 16]. A slow left ventricular pressure decay, persisting into the left ventricular filling phase can be explained by a failure of myocardial inactivation [17, 18], which causes incomplete myoplasmic calcium reuptake and favors persistent diastolic cross-bridge interaction and contractile tension generation. A failure of myocardial inactivation of the hypertrophied left ventricle could be induced by a shift of certain critical proteins involved in excitation-contraction coupling towards isomeric forms with slower enzyme kinetics and an altered calcium sensitivity [19, 20].
