This statistical failure was considered by the investigators to be attributable to the fact that the event rate in the overall trial population was lower than predicted, even though the predication ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is increasingly recognised as a key determinant of perioperative risk and postoperative recovery in cardiac surgery. Unlike systolic performance, which is ...

For patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), endovascular treatment (EVT) improves left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, according to a study published online Sept. 9 ...

Sudden cardiac death is a common cause of death in patients with reduced systolic ejection function. As part of a long-term observational study, MedUni Vienna researchers from the Division of ...

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 ...

Although the effects of stress and anger on ischemic heart disease and arrhythmia are well known, they are less established in heart failure, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction.

Recently, while preparing an updated presentation to the Saint Louis University cardiology fellows on "diastolic dysfunction," the Skeptical Cardiologist came across a document entitled "What Does ...

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 ...

Mental stress and anger may have clinical implications for patients with heart failure according to a new report published in the Journal of Cardiac Failure. Heart failure is a life-threatening ...

During embryonic development, the right ventricle is formed from the secondary heart field into a crescent-shaped, thin-walled structure. 6 It is the most anterior heart chamber, sitting just beneath ...
