Spanish term

flujo sistólico de llenado

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
This is a paper for a cardiology journal, about the role of imaging techniques in patients with acute heart failure. In this section, they explain that imaging hepatic bloodflow can help estimate blood volume and right atrial pressure.

This is the entire sentence:

"En condiciones normales, el flujo sistólico de llenado predomina sobre el llenado diastólico, pero cuando la PAD está elevada, la preponderancia de la onda sistólica se pierde (S < D)."

What I am doubting is the meaning of "systolic filling flow", particularly compared with just "diastolic filling". I wonder if it is a valid term, and whether is is different from "systolic filling" or "systolic flow".

Any opinions welcome! Thanks.

liz askew Mar 4, 2015:
ignore my comments, you are talking of the left atrium, not the LV!!
liz askew Mar 4, 2015:
On a quick read of a few sites, it appears [to me only] that the LV only fills during diastole
liz askew Mar 4, 2015:
Hi,
FWIW, I am unable to find "flujo sistólico de llenado", only "flujo sistólico"

systolic forward flow (S wave)

My answer is based on:

1. No findings for "flujo sistólico de llenado"
2. No finds for systolic flow in relation to diastolic filling in either Spanish or English
3. The findings on various Echocardiogram sites

Good luck!
