Whether left ventricular (LV) systolic properties are reduced in diastolic heart failure (DHF) remains controversial, because patients with DHF maintain a normal stroke volume and ejection fraction ...
In adults with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cc-TGA) and systemic right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, a greater use of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) was ...
Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is prognostically relevant, associated with major cardiovascular risk factors and with atherosclerosis. However, whether LVH is independently associated with ...
Background: Prolonged steady state exercise can lead to a decrease in left ventricular (LV) function as well as promote the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT). There is limited information on the ...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by impaired contractility and high ...
This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...
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 ...
Systolic congestive heart failure involves the left side of your heart losing its ability to pump effectively. Common ...
High output and low output heart failure refer to how much blood your heart pumps to your body with each heartbeat. In both cases, the output is not enough to meet your body’s needs. A diagnosis of ...
