The start-up Function will send practically anyone to a lab for extensive medical testing, no physical required. Is that a good thing? By Kristen V. Brown As Kimberly Crisp approached middle age, ...

Introduction: Direct cardiac compression devices only provide left ventricular (LV) systolic function support and can impair diastolic filling, thereby limiting the capability for effective ...

Background: A limited number of studies have examined the prognostic significance of diastolic function in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in a general population ...

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 ...

Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc. announced promising echocardiographic data regarding atrioventricular interval modulation (AVIM) therapy's impact on patients with diastolic dysfunction at the THT 2025 ...

Elevated baseline NT-proBNP and hs-cTnI levels predict a decline in cardiac systolic and diastolic function over 7 years in older adults. No significant association was found between hs-cTnT and ...

Introduction: Diastolic dysfunction may prognosticate adverse cardiovascular outcomes post-liver transplantation (LT). However, the impact of diastolic dysfunction on post-transplant outcomes has not ...

FRIDAY, Sept. 20, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), endovascular treatment (EVT) improves left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, ...

Diastolic stiffness coefficient (β) and end-diastolic elastance (Eed) are ventricular-specific diastolic parameters. However, the diastolic function of right ventricle had not been investigated ...
