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 ...
The presence of moderate or severe diastolic dysfunction in patients with preserved systolic function independently predicted mortality, a retrospective study determined. After propensity matching to ...
Unfortunately, despite its emerging importance, no simple or universally accepted definition of DHF has yet been found. Previous studies have used a broad and heterogeneous variety of diagnostic ...
Advanced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients undergoing TAVR is linked with almost a fourfold increase in risk of postprocedural death as early as 30 days postprocedure, ...

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 ...
The diagnosis and treatment of isolated diastolic failure is often a challenge, since the symptoms are so similar to systolic heart failure. It is important to distinguish between diastolic heart ...
This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...
