Whether left ventricular (LV) systolic properties are reduced in diastolic heart failure (DHF) remains controversial, because patients with DHF maintain a normal stroke volume and ejection fraction ...
Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is prognostically relevant, associated with major cardiovascular risk factors and with atherosclerosis. However, whether LVH is independently associated with ...
PREAMI, which showed benefit in terms of LV remodeling in post-MI patients with HF and preserved systolic function -- the results of PEP-CHF supporting the treatment of these patients with an ACE ...
The presence of moderate or severe diastolic dysfunction in patients with preserved systolic function independently predicted mortality, a retrospective study determined. After propensity matching to ...
Background: Prolonged steady state exercise can lead to a decrease in left ventricular (LV) function as well as promote the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT). There is limited information on the ...
Obstructive sleep apnea subjects the failing heart to adverse hemodynamic and adrenergic loads and may thereby contribute to the progression of heart failure. We hypothesized that treatment of ...
High output and low output heart failure refer to how much blood your heart pumps to your body with each heartbeat. In both cases, the output is not enough to meet your body’s needs. A diagnosis of ...
