Left ventricular diastolic function and cardiotoxic chemotherapy
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction falls when the myocardium has already lost a significant portion of its functional capacity. There are conflicting data on whether diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction after cardiotoxic ...

Novel pathways of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Diastolic heart failure (HF) i.e., HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for ~50% of all clinical HF presentations; but unlike systolic HF i.e., HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), there are no evidenced based ...

Insights into the pulmonary vascular complications of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension in the setting of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) is a growing public health problem that is increasing in prevalence.

Left ventricular mass and intrarenal arterial stiffness as early diagnostic markers in cardiorenal syndrome type 5 due to systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Background: Cardiorenal syndrome type 5 (CRS-5) includes a group of conditions characterized by a simultaneous involvement of the heart and kidney in the course of a systemic disease.

Adiponectin improves coronary no-reflow injury by protecting the endothelium in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
To determine the effect of adiponectin (APN) on the coronary no-reflow (NR) injury in rats with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-sugar-high-fat diet to build a T2DM model.

Diastolic Dysfunction in Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
Left ventricular diastolic properties are important markers of pump function and are frequently abnormal when myocardial insults alter tissue structure. Alterations can be limited to the early diastolic phase (early active relaxation) or to late diastolic filling (late ventricular compliance), but more often involve regulation of both phases of ...
