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 ...

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 ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is underdiagnosed in patients with severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) of undefined etiology (isolated STR).

Diastolic heart failure is defined clinically when signs and symptoms of heart failure are present in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction >45%).

A new publication from Genes & Diseases; DOI 10.1016/j.gendis.2024.101284 , discusses the effect of long-term administration of green tea catechins ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF ... subsequently diagnosed with HFpEF did not have guideline-defined diastolic dysfunction. Robust discrimination for HFpEF was seen for ...

In infants with cardiomyopathy-associated chronic HF, baseline LVEF of less than 40% and β blocker use indicate a decreased chance of LVEF normalization.

Septal circumferential strain (Ecc) was significantly decreased in LGE-negative boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) ...
