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 ...

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 ...

In systolic heart failure, the left ventricle can’t squeeze or contract normally, keeping blood from circulating properly. In diastolic heart failure, the left ventricle can’t relax ...

Aims The epidemiology of the five stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in systolic heart failure (HF) patients has predominantly been described in hospitalized White patients, with little known ...

Patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 exhibit cardiac systolic dysfunction and small vessel disease at long-term ...

Objective To determine whether or not radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with advanced heart failure leads to improvements in cardiac function. Setting ...

The combined extract of sorghum, adzuki bean, and finger millet (SAFE) can significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats, comparable to captopril, a ...

Presentation underscores unique potential for atrioventricular interval modulation ("AVIM”) therapy to manage blood pressure in older, high-risk patients who have indicators of diastolic dysfunction ...

People with certain heart conditions may be more likely to develop low blood pressure (low systolic and low diastolic blood pressure). These can include heart valve problems, heart failure ...

CMR scans may reveal lamin heart disease prognostic biomarkers, enabling clinicians to better predict which patients are most ...

Background Mobility limitation is prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF), but the dose-response relationship between ...
