A new study led by researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine found that heavy ...

A 65-y-old woman with multiple cardiovascular risk factors presented with atypical chest pain, prompting a 1-d pharmacologic stress myocardial perfusion test using 99mTc sestamibi. Initial ...

Impairment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function as well as systolic function appear very early in the course of heart disease. Recent HF guidelines, therefore, place special emphasis on the ...

VOV.VN - The 108 Central Military Hospital on April 12 announced the successful implantation of a third-generation left ...

were the target variables for quantifying the degree of systolic function and left ventricular dilation. Systolic dysfunction was defined by LVEF less than 52 and 54% for men and women, respectively.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common heart muscle disease presenting in childhood and is associated with an increased risk of heart failure related death. In adult cohorts, imaging ...

UK Background The use of the HeartMate II continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves survival, quality of life and functional capacity of patients with advanced heart failure.

chamber dilation, impaired systolic and diastolic ventricular function, and finally an association with left ventricular dysfunction, which is directly associated with hyperglycemia and independently ...

Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction was defined as LV ejection fraction below 55%. Cardiac treatment prior to and during each pregnancy was recorded. Each pregnancy was evaluated for VA and HF, which ...

Contradictory evidence exists regarding the correlation between supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and adverse outcomes. This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic value of ...
