Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in non-myocardial disorders. [PDF]
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc ImagingAbstract This article reviews and discusses non-myocardial disorders that represent diagnostic challenges when evaluating patients for suspected heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This includes pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension, which is important to differentiate from post-capillary hypertension caused ...

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]
, 2000 OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction worsens prognosis in patients with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
ESC Heart FailAbstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...
