The natural history of subclinical systolic and diastolic LV dysfunction in the general population is currently unknown. Serial imaging studies are required to clarify the progression of LV changes ...
Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...
Secondary to hypertension, ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling are frequent causes of diastolic heart failure (HF), a condition associated with morbidity, hospitalization and mortality. Diagnosing ...
Nocturnal hypertension is an important predictor of the progression of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes without HF. An important predictor for the progression of left ...
A recent study published in BMC Public Health investigated the associations between abnormal left ventricular diastolic function (ALVDF) and ambient air pollution. Study: Air pollution is associated ...
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is associated with worse health status among patients with severe aortic stenosis, but TAVR leads to clinically meaningful symptomatic improvements regardless of ...
Recently, while preparing an updated presentation to the Saint Louis University cardiology fellows on "diastolic dysfunction," the Skeptical Cardiologist came across a document entitled "What Does ...
Advanced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients undergoing TAVR is linked with almost a fourfold increase in risk of postprocedural death as early as 30 days postprocedure, ...
Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the heart's ventricles stiffen and can't fill with blood properly. Diastolic heart failure is common in people over 45, especially women and those with high blood ...

In contrast to HF with reduced EF, where events (e.g., myocardial infarction) often signal the onset of cardiac dysfunction and symptoms, this is not the case in HF with normal EF, which starts ...
