Table 1 shows clinical characteristics of subjects separated into the following three groups on the basis of left ventricular diastolic function: normal, impaired relaxation, or a pseudonormalized ...

LV diastolic dysfunction is a common complication of both HF and CAD. It occurs early in the ischemic cascade, preceding detectable systolic function changes. It is assessed easily by echocardiography ...

Nocturnal hypertension is an important predictor of the progression of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes without HF. An important predictor for the progression of left ...

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy develops as an adaptive mechanism to increased load in hypertensive patients. However, it is well known that the extent of LV hypertrophy does not necessarily ...

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 ...
