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 ...
Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Key Takeaways Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the heart's ventricles stiffen ...
Epidemiological and experimental studies have documented both the rising burden of diastolic heart failure (DHF) and several mechanisms that distinguish this disease from systolic heart failure (SHF).
PHILADELPHIA — Omecamtiv mecarbil, a selective cardiac myosin activator, improved diastolic function and pulmonary pressures without worsening diastolic filling in patients with chronic HF and reduced ...
New Orleans, LA - Lowering blood pressure can improve diastolic dysfunction even in patients with mild hypertension, a new study has shown. Dr Randall C Starling (Cleveland Clinic, OH), cochair of the ...
A follow-up of participants in a heart function study finds that the prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (left ventricular filling [with blood] is abnormal and is accompanied by ...
June 13, 2011 (Montreal, Quebec City) — Among patients with heart failure and very low LV ejection fraction, having better diastolic function--an E/e' ratio lower than 10.8--predicted preserved ...
Patients with signs and symptoms of heart failure and a normal left ventricular ejection fraction are said to have diastolic heart failure. It has traditionally been thought that the ...
New research uncovers what causes diastolic heart failure and how it can be treated. Research out of University Minnesota Medical School and published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight ...
