Community-based studies revealed a higher prevalence of LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction using the new echocardiographic imaging techniques. Future prospective studies will clarify the ...

Diastolic dysfunction increasingly is recognized as an important cause of congestive heart failure (CHF). In this study, Mayo Clinic researchers surveyed a random sample of 2042 adults (age ...

—Previous echocardiography studies have suggested that diastolic dysfunction may precede systolic dysfunction and chamber dilation in DMD, which suggests that identifying diastolic indices and ...

The severity of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction affects risk for incident stroke and transient ischemic attack, as well as major bleeding.

Heart failure with preserved ejection function is a lethal form of heart failure, with few effective treatments. A team from Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine have identified an enzyme, ...

Sildenafil was effective for reducing diastolic dysfunction and altered ejection fraction among patients with SSc.

Heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific disease, and occurs as a final common pathway in multiple disease states. The section presents a review of diastolic congestive heart failure ...

Orchestra BioMed (OBIO) announced a late-breaking oral presentation of data on the benefits of atrioventricular interval modulation therapy on ...

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is non-compliant and not able to accept blood return in a normal fashion from the left atrium. This can be a normal physiologic ...

"ALPK2-overexpression suppressed progression of diastolic dysfunction. In addition, it improved lung weight, which is often used as an index of heart failure," Tatsuya Yoshida summarized.
