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.

A new publication from Genes & Diseases; DOI 10.1016/j.gendis.2024.101284, discusses the effect of long-term administration of green tea catechins on aging-related cardiac diastolic dysfunction and ...

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 ...

A new publication from Genes & Diseases; DOI 10.1016/j.gendis.2024.101284, discusses the effect of long-term administration of green tea catechins on aging-related cardiac diastolic dysfunction and ...

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 ...

Panelists discuss how heart failure classification involves HFrEF vs HFpEF distinctions and staging systems (A through D), with the greatest prevention opportunities existing in early stages A and B, ...

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 ...
