The natural history of subclinical systolic and diastolic LV dysfunction in the general population is currently unknown. Serial imaging studies are required to clarify the progression of LV changes ...

Repolarization dispersion has been linked to echocardiographic measures of diastolic dysfunction in past research, and a recent study found it potentially indicative of pulmonary arterial hypertension ...

Advancing stages of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction may be linked to all-cause mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, according to data published in JACC: Cardiovascular ...

Serum PINP and PIIINP were determined by a rapid equilibrium radioimmunoassay using commercial antisera specifically directed against the amino-terminal propeptide (Orion Diagnostica, Espoo, Finland).

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, ...

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 ...

In contrast to HF with reduced EF, where events (e.g., myocardial infarction) often signal the onset of cardiac dysfunction and symptoms, this is not the case in HF with normal EF, which starts ...
