The purposes of this study were to investigate whether heart failure (HF) with reduced
ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) share …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether cluster analysis of left atrial and
left ventricular (LV) mechanical deformation parameters provide sufficient information for …

Research in the last decade has substantially advanced our understanding of the
pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of a comprehensive imaging
protocol including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis and …

Background: Classifying patients with advanced congestive heart failure (CHF) by baseline
measures of congestion and perfusion has been used to estimate hemodynamic status and …

Background: Although 2-dimensional strain analyses based on speckle tracking
echocardiography have been used to detect myocardial deformation, the prognostic impact …

The primary myocardial disease idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is not clearly
defined in the literature. The description is both morphologic and etiologic. We examined …

Echocardiographic evaluation of patients with possible heart failure includes a
comprehensive assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, pulmonary …

The index for a target that can lead to improved prognoses and more reliable therapy in
each heterogeneous patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) …

Introduction The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains
challenging. In this study, a novel echocardiography index based on three-dimensional and …
