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 ...

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 ...

What are the grades of diastolic dysfunction measured by echocardiography, and what are the clinical ramifications of each? Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is ...

Diagnosis of congestive heart failure can be made clinically in the vast majority of patients if the symptoms of pulmonary venous hypertension (paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea) and/or systemic ...

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 ...

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, ...

Chronic heart failure occurs when either the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both require elevated filling pressures to maintain cardiac output. Heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific ...

What Is Diastolic Heart Failure? If you have diastolic heart failure, the left ventricle of your heart has become stiff and bulky. So, your heart can’t fill up with as much blood as it needs. Less ...
