Diastolic dysfunction increasingly is recognized as an important cause of congestive heart failure (CHF). In this study, Mayo Clinic researchers surveyed a random sample of 2042 adults (age ...

Community-based studies revealed a higher prevalence of LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction using the new echocardiographic imaging techniques. Future prospective studies will clarify the ...

In systolic heart failure, the heart's left lower chamber doesn't contract well, which reduces its force for pumping blood.

and objective evidence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction or raised left ventricular filling pressures. In these patients, the ruling out of potential mimickers such as respiratory disease ...

SRD-002 is under clinical development by Sardocor and currently in Phase II for Diastolic Heart Failure (HFpEF).

HS-135 is under clinical development by 35Pharma and currently in Phase I for Diastolic Heart Failure (HFpEF).

Left-sided heart failure can be diastolic (preserved ejection fraction), which means the left ventricle becomes stiff and can ...

Persistent smoking from age 10 through 24 years is associated with increased odds of premature cardiac and structural injury.

If the Valsalva maneuver fails to reduce the left ventricular pressure in the setting of diastolic heart failure, then grade IV diastolic dysfunction is said to be present — indicating a poor ...

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is non-compliant and not able to accept blood return in a normal fashion from the left atrium. This can be a normal physiologic ...
