Heart failure with normal systolic function has been equated to diastolic heart failure (DHF ... and comparable to that of heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

What Is Diastolic Heart Failure? A classic example of diastolic ... and an echocardiogram shows a normal ejection fraction (EF) and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Diastolic HF is ...

In systolic heart failure, the heart's left lower chamber doesn't contract well, which reduces its force for pumping blood. Diastolic heart failure happens when the left ventricle becomes too ...

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is non-compliant and not able to accept blood return in a normal fashion from the left atrium. This can be a normal physiologic ...

Chronic heart failure occurs when either the left ... and high output HF are discussed elsewhere. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is manifest when increased filling pressure (ie, left ...

The following is a summary of “Impact of Exercise on Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Its Determinants: An Exercise ...

heart rate (HR), and systolic blood pressure (sBP) as well as echocardiography to assess stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), systolic blood pressure/end systolic volume ratio (sBP/ESV), and ...

"ALPK2-overexpression suppressed progression of diastolic dysfunction. In addition, it improved lung weight, which is often used as an index of heart failure," Yoshida summarized. "HFpEF is a ...

Tatsuya Yoshida, Mikito Takefuji, and Toyoaki Murohara in the Department of Cardiology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, identified an enzyme, alpha-kinase 2 (ALPK2) that is specifically ...

Researchers discovered that ALPK2, a heart-specific enzyme, may protect against HFpEF by activating TPM1 in heart muscle ...
