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 ...

Echocardiography remains the cornerstone for non-invasive evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart failure. By combining conventional Doppler‐derived transmitral flow ...

"I think echocardiography is probably a dead end as a stand-alone tool for diagnosing diastolic heart failure," Prof. Cleland commented later. "I think that echocardiography has to start integrating ...

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 ...

Diastolic heart failure means there’s a problem with your heart’s ability to fill with blood. It’s a type of congestive heart failure where your heart cannot work efficiently, leading to fluid ...

Research suggests there’s an indirect link between anxiety and diastolic dysfunction, a condition related to how your heart fills with blood. Anxiety is a natural state of readiness. It’s your brain’s ...
