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 ...

Nocturnal hypertension is an important predictor of the progression of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes without HF. An important predictor for the progression of left ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Left ventricular end-diastolic volume is the amount of blood in the heart’s left ventricle just before the heart contracts. While the right ventricle also has an end-diastolic volume, it’s the value ...

Background: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are sometimes used by power athletes to improve performance by increasing muscle mass and strength. Recent bioptical data have shown that in athletes ...

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 ...
