Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

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 ...

Repolarization dispersion has been linked to echocardiographic measures of diastolic dysfunction in past research, and a recent study found it potentially indicative of pulmonary arterial hypertension ...

A new study published in the journal of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine revealed that Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) were associated with improved left ...

Renal denervation not only reduces resistant hypertension but also decreases left ventricular (LV) mass and improves diastolic function in patients with hypertensive heart disease, according to a new ...

Recently, while preparing an updated presentation to the Saint Louis University cardiology fellows on "diastolic dysfunction," the Skeptical Cardiologist came across a document entitled "What Does ...

A routine physical examination does not allow diagnosing systolic or diastolic LV dysfunction in the preclinical phase (stage B). Similarly, a physical examination cannot accurately characterize the ...
