Hypertension is believed to be the single greatest factor influencing the development of heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also known as diastolic heart ...

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 ...

Diastolic heart failure is common in the elderly, particularly women. Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects.

Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

A new study published in the journal of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine revealed that Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) were associated with improved left ...

Blood pressure consists of two numbers. Systolic pressure, the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart beats, is the upper number. Diastolic pressure, the force exerted when the heart is at rest ...
