Diastolic heart failure is defined clinically when signs and symptoms of heart failure are present in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction >45%).

Diastolic dysfunction is a heart condition that happens when there is a “stiffening” of the major pumping chambers of the organ (ventricles). This stiffness gets in the way of the heart’s ability to ...

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 ...

Even in the absence of overt obstructive coronary artery disease or valvular heart disease, patients with MetS often exhibit adverse cardiac remodeling and myocardial dysfunction. Left ventricular ...

The different types of heart failure include left- and right-sided heart failure and biventricular heart failure. Heart failure can also be classified according to the heart's pumping ability, for ...

CCM therapy is now indicated for symptomatic heart failure patients with diastolic or systolic ventricular dysfunction, offering a broader range of patients a new option for improving quality of life ...

improving their quality of life and reducing hospitalizations related to heart failure. [i] “This expanded indication addresses an important unmet clinical need for patients with diastolic HF or ...

In Europe, the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini system is indicated for use in patients who are older than 18 years of age with symptomatic heart failure due to systolic and diastolic left ventricular ...

hkucc.hku.hk Objective: To study the possible occurrence of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic asynchrony in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) and narrow QRS complexes. Design: ...
