Increased myocardial stiffness is a major cause of LV diastolic dysfunction. Myocardial stiffness in turn is regulated by extracellular matrix (mainly collagen), the cardiomyocytes and ...

The most often used blood markers are the creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) fraction and the troponin levels. Immediate treatment for suspected acute myocardial infarction includes oxygen, aspirin ...

While the implications and overall prognosis for myocardial injury linked to C ... LGE and a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction. Compared to patients with MIS-C, C-VAM patients ...

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD If you've had a heart attack, you're at high risk of having a sudden cardiac ...

This labeling relates to the results of the large, multicenter Eplerenone Post-Acute Myocardial Infarction ... systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤40%) and clinical evidence of congestive ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major health concern. Pathological stimuli and interactions between cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and other cell types may lead to ...

LA active emptying volume and fraction were both higher in patients with hypertension. Conversely, peak systolic myocardial atrial strain was significantly reduced in patients with pathological LVH ...

Left ventricular end-systolic volume, ejection fraction, left ventricular mass ... distinguish between transmural and nontransmural myocardial infarcts; 13 thus, it does not miss subendocardial ...
