Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Key Takeaways Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the heart's ventricles stiffen ...

Diastolic function refers to the ability of the heart, particularly the left ventricle, to relax and fill with blood during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Impairment of this process may ...

Echocardiography remains the cornerstone for non-invasive evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart failure. By combining conventional Doppler‐derived transmitral flow ...

Sudden cardiac death is a common cause of death in patients with reduced systolic ejection function. As part of a long-term observational study, MedUni Vienna researchers from the Division of ...

For patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), endovascular treatment (EVT) improves left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, according to a study published online Sept. 9 ...

Patent covers machine-learning models that use ECG data to estimate echocardiogram parameters indicative of diastolic functionSouthlake, TX, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HeartSciences Inc.

It is a common perception that approximately 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present with a normal or near-normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ("HF with preserved systolic function"), ...

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 ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, a ...

Although the effects of stress and anger on ischemic heart disease and arrhythmia are well known, they are less established in heart failure, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction.

Background Marathon running has numerous cardiovascular effects. Studies report transient physiological changes, while others ...
