As the result of the return of the ribs and the lower part of the sternum into a deeper and flatter position, it was necessary for the heart, which had adhered to the diaphragm, to undergo a movement during
diastole, contrary to the conditions prevailing under normal conditions.

(16) designed a new methodology based on fractal geometry that includes the creation of the concept of degrees of similarity, which allows the comparison of the fractal dimensions of the ventricular contours in systole,
diastole and totality from images with a diagnosis of cardiac ventricular normality and severe abnormality.

Phillips & Harkin (2003) diagnosed hypothyroidism and cardiac failure in two dogs, whose echocardiographic findings were similar to those documented in subjects diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, including diminished fractional shortening and augmented left ventricular internal diameters in systole and
diastole. Nevertheless, because no overt cause-and-effect relationship could be established, they also speculated that both diseases could be distinct and just coexist.
However, at
diastole, the IOP drops by 1.5mmHg, while the CSF only drops by 0.5mmHg, creating an upward pressure gradient; this results in a temporary stasis of blood within the venous system at the lamina cribrosa (seen as venous engorgement in SVP).
Stiffness of the heart muscles, preventing them from relaxing adequately during the resting phase (
diastole) of the heart cycle
Further interrogation confirmed blood flow between the LV and the RA, consistent with an acquired Gerbode-type ventricular septal defect (VSD), with flow present in both systole and
diastole. No 2-D or color flow doppler (CFD) evidence of a communication between the aortic root and the RA was seen (Figs.
Diastole represents the period of time when the ventricles are relaxed (not contracting).

diastole de las arterias uterinas mostraron valores significativamente mas altos en el grupo de las preeclampticas (p < 0,05).
