New research highlights the impact of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) on mortality risk after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) but also how deadly right ventricular ...

Background: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been observed in cigarette smokers with coronary artery disease. The aim of the study was to assess LV and right ventricular (RV) diastolic ...

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the heart's ventricles stiffen and can't fill with blood properly. Diastolic heart failure ...

Right ventricular pacing restores an adequate heart rate in patients with atrioventricular block, but high percentages of right ventricular apical pacing may promote left ventricular systolic ...

Repairing small, seemingly benign holes in a child's heart may be more clinically important than previously thought, as dysfunction could be lurking out of sight. These are the findings from a study ...

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 ...

In systolic heart failure, the heart cannot effectively contract with each heartbeat. In diastolic heart failure, your heart cannot relax between heartbeats. Both types can lead to right-sided heart ...

What Is Diastolic Heart Failure? If you have diastolic heart failure, the left ventricle of your heart has become stiff and bulky. So, your heart can’t fill up with as much blood as it needs. Less ...
