Early diastolic filling dynamics in diastolic dysfunction [PDF]
Background The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the rate of peak early mitral inflow velocity and the peak early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocities in normal controls and to compare them with subjects with diastolic ...

Despite the growing number of patients affected, the understanding of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is still poor. Clinical trials, largely based on successful treatments for systolic heart failure, have been disappointing, suggesting that HFpEF has a different pathology to that of systolic dysfunction.

Role of estrogen in diastolic dysfunction
The prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) sharply increases in women after menopause and may lead to heart failure. While evidence suggests that estrogens protect the premenopausal heart from hypertension and ventricular remodeling, the specific mechanisms involved remain elusive.

BackgroundRecent studies have shown that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has gradually been identified as a more reliable marker of inflammation, with predictive value for the development of many diseases.

Effect of Treadmill Test According to Bruce Protocol Stage 1 on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients with Exertional Dyspnea and Normal Left Ventricular Function [PDF]
Introduction: Diastolic dysfunction, detected commonly by echocardiography is the fore-runner of Heart Failure (HF) with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in future.

Maternal Cardiac Diastolic Dysfunction by Doppler Echocardiography in Women with Preeclampsia [PDF]
Introduction: Preeclampsia may lead to heart failure in late pregnancy and early puerperium. Diastolic dysfunction may be the cause of heart failure in these patients.

Introduction: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is common on preoperative screening among patients undergoing surgery. There is no simple screening test at present to suspect LV diastolic dysfunction. This study was aimed to test the hypothesis,

It has recently become firmly established that patients can experience chronic and acute heart failure with a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF).1–5 We now know this disorder is the dominant form of HF in the community, and that compared with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), it is increasing in prevalence and incidence,6 causes at least as many
