Aging is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac diastolic dysfunction (CDD), ultimately leading to ...

During a median follow-up of 3.5 years, diastolic dysfunction was a powerful independent predictor of death, even after adjustment for ejection fraction. Diastolic dysfunction is common in a ...

New research shows that cardiac MRI can predict sudden cardiac events in Fontan circulation, aiding clinical risk assessment.

Background Although the prognostic implications of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) are well recognised, they are less clear ...

HFpEF patients were characterized by a high prevalence of left atrial enlargement, diastolic dysfunction ... and Prognostic Impact of Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients With Heart Failure and Preserved ...

ANSWER: Heart failure is simply when the heart is unable to pump all the blood it needs to meet the body’s demands. Heart ...

The EF is normally 50% to 75%, so heart failure with an EF of less than 50% is heart failure with reduced ejection fraction ...
