It is a common perception that approximately 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present with a normal or near-normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ("HF with preserved systolic function"), ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...
We read with great interest the research letter by Niemiec et al 1 on the use of sacubitril / valsartan in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to heart failure with preserved ejection ...
Researchers have identified a potential treatment target for patients with a common type of heart failure. In a new study, the researchers tested the effect of an investigational drug called ...
Columbus-based Ohio State University’s Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital is the first in the world to study the clinical benefits of a device used to treat diastolic heart failure. Diastolic heart ...
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...
