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 ...

Whether left ventricular (LV) systolic properties are reduced in diastolic heart failure (DHF) remains controversial, because patients with DHF maintain a normal stroke volume and ejection ...

Targeting a systolic blood pressure (SBP) below 130 mmHg may significantly reduce hospitalizations in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a recent systematic review ...

151; -- Question: Why are there so many recommendations for the treatment of systolic heart failure and so few for diastolic heart failure management? Answer: Well, I think the main reason is the ...

Systolic heart failure is a kind of heart failure in which heart's lower chambers (ventricles) become weak to contract and pump out enough blood to meet the body's needs. This results in shortness ...

Afib occurs more often when severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is present. We hypothesized that even after a successful AFL ablation, the incidence of postablation Afib is ...
