Maternal Cardiovascular Impairment in Pregnancies Complicated by Severe Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]
—Fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia are both conditions of placental etiology and associated to increased risk for the long-term development of cardiovascular disease in the mother. At presentation, preeclampsia is associated with maternal global

Looking for Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]
To the Editor: Zile et al1 simplify the diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction by offering an easy approach: normal ejection fraction in a patient with heart failure strongly suggests diastolic dysfunction. Still, one needs an echocardiogram. I am surprised that they, like others,2,3⇓ do not make this difficult-seeming diagnosis even easier: if a patient ...

Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is an acknowledged peri-operative risk factor that should be identified before surgery. This study aimed to evaluate a simplified echocardiographic method using e’ and E/e’ for identification and ...

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...
