Diastolic dysfunction in the presence of impaired systolic dysfunction is associated with mortality, but a new study has found that diastolic dysfunction in patients with normal systolic function is ...
Right ventricular systolic function evaluated through VO2 max is a more accurate measure of functional capacity of persons with heart failure compared with left ventricular systolic function. This ...
Background: Prolonged steady state exercise can lead to a decrease in left ventricular (LV) function as well as promote the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT). There is limited information on the ...

May 17, 2007 (Durham, NC) – Heart failure with preserved systolic function is common among patients with non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE ACS), a new analysis of the CRUSADE ...
Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether biventricular pacing is ...
Vasodilators are considered to be contraindicated in patients with severe aortic stenosis because of concern that they may precipitate life-threatening hypotension. However, vasodilators such as ...
