Background—Congestive heart failure in the setting of a preserved left ventricular (LV)
ejection fraction is increasing in prevalence among the senior population. The underlying …

Background: Systolic abnormality, as well as diastolic dysfunction, is observed in patients
with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). However, the role of these 2 …

Aims This study aimed to evaluate ventricular diastolic properties using three‐dimensional
echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging at rest and during exercise in heart failure …

Approximately 50% of patients with symptoms and signs of heart failure have a left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≥ 50% and are often simply referred to as 'heart failure …

Background Heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) suggests
isolated diastolic dysfunction. Aim The purpose of this study was to determine if systolic and …

Heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) is implicitly attributed to
diastolic dysfunction, often recognized in elderly patients with hypertension, diabetes, and …

ContextMany older patients with symptoms of congestive heart failure have a preserved left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the pathophysiology of this disorder …

Background—Patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) have significant abnormalities in left
ventricular (LV) diastolic function, including slow and delayed relaxation and increased …

Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a growing public health
problem. Impairment in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function has been proposed as a key …

Background—Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous
syndrome associated with multiple pathophysiologic abnormalities, including left ventricular …
