Benefits of lifelong exercise training on left ventricular function after myocardial infarction. [PDF]
, 2017 Background Endurance exercise training induces cardio-protective effects, but athletes are not exempted from a myocardial infarction. Evidence from animal studies suggests that exercise training attenuates pathological left ventricular remodelling ...

Correlation between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Early Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction [PDF]
Zhongguo quanke yixue, 2022 Background As the most common chronic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been reported to be associated with significant changes in myocardial structure and function, but it is still a controversial issue whether it is an ...

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 ...

Effect of canagliflozin on left ventricular diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes
Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018 Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) greatly increases the risks of cardiovascular disease and heart failure. In particular, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction that develops from the early stages of T2DM is an important factor in the onset and ...

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 ...

Analysis of left ventricular diastolic function [PDF]
Heart, 1996 Our understanding of left ventricular diastolic function has evolved with our understanding of Doppler echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular filling dynamics. Left ventricular diastolic function consists of several variables which affect the Doppler echocardiographic recordings in a complex way. While there are still limitations with the non-
