There is controversy whether a lifetime of heavy resistance training, providing pressure-overload, is harmful for left ventricular function. We compared left ventricular dimensions and function in elite Masters athletes involved in throwing events ...

Benefits of lifelong exercise training on left ventricular function after myocardial infarction. [PDF]
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]
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]
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
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 ...

Left ventricular pressure-volume relationship in a rat model of advanced aging-associated heart failure. [PDF]
Aging is associated with profound changes in the structure and function of the heart. A fundamental understanding of these processes, using relevant animal models, is required for effective prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the ...

CLINICAL ASSESSMENT OF LEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC FUNCTION [PDF]
Diastolic left ventricular disease is being increasingly incriminated as a cause of limitation of exercise tolerance, whether or not ejection fraction is normal,1,2 though the mechanisms by which it does so are far from clear. Indeed, it has been suggested that no diastolic abnormality at all need be demonstrated for a diagnosis of possible or probable

Prevalence and significance of alterations in cardiac structure and function in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
<p><b>Background:</b> The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of abnormalities in cardiac structure and function present in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and to determine whether ...
