Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]
, 2017 Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...

Interleukin-1 blockade in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: rationale and design of the Diastolic Heart Failure Anakinra Response Trial 2 (D-HART2) [PDF]
, 2017 Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) now accounts for the majority of con-firmed HF cases in the United States. However, there are no highly effective evidence-basedtreatments currently available for these patients.

Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017 The stepwise approach in evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is essential in any patients with dyspnea on exertion or heart failure. Many of them have normal to near-normal ejection fractions (EFs).

Cardiac function during weaning failure: the role of diastolic dysfunction
Annals of Intensive Care, 2018 Background Cardiac dysfunction is a common cause of weaning failure. Weaning shares some similarities with a cardiac stress test and may challenge active phases of the cardiac cycle-like ventricular contractility and relaxation.

The diastolic function: an echocardiographic study and its clinical meaning
Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2004 Many patients with manifestations and/or symptoms of heart failure show a normal or only slight depressed systolic function of the left ventricle. The origin of these symptoms is attributed to anomalies of the diastolic function and the echocardiography ...
