Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Obesity causes diastolic dysfunction, and is one of the leading causes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Myocardial relaxation is determined by both active metabolic processes such as ...

Hypertension is believed to be the single greatest factor influencing the development of heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also known as diastolic heart ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is associated with worse health status among patients with severe aortic stenosis, but TAVR leads to clinically meaningful symptomatic improvements regardless of ...

Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...
