Hypertension is believed to be the single greatest factor influencing the development of heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also known as diastolic heart ...

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 ...

Diastolic heart failure is common in the elderly, particularly women. Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects.

According to new research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, there may be a way to stave off a type of heart failure by improving the elasticity of cardiac muscles.

Echocardiographic data analysis demonstrated favorable impact of atrioventricular interval modulation (“AVIM”) therapy on MODERATO II study patients with diastolic dysfunction, a key component in the ...

Incidence of cardiotoxicity after high cumulative dose of anthracyclines in adult patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Arterial stiffness and aortic ...

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a significant complication of cirrhosis, but its progression and underlying mechanisms ...

A mouse study of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) found male-female differences at the cellular level. The findings could have implications for how HFpEF is treated in women ...
