A novel imaging-based method accurately estimates left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressures non-invasively, offering insights into cardiac function previously accessible only through invasive ...

In a 4.3-year follow-up study, few asymptomatic patients with preclinical left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) progressed to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), with a ...

Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic ...

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 ...

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome affecting around 70 million individuals globally. It has a prevalence of 2% in Europe and North America and approximately 1% in Asia and South America.

Although the effects of stress and anger on ischemic heart disease and arrhythmia are well known, they are less established in heart failure, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction.

LVNC is a structural heart problem that develops before birth. Later in life, it can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, and chest pain. Treatments include medications ...

A less invasive test commonly used to diagnose coronary disease also may be used to detect one of the leading causes of heart failure, say researchers at the Medical College of Georgia. By using a ...
