Primary diastolic failure is typically seen in patients with hypertensive or valvular heart
disease as well as in hypertrophic or restrictive cardiomyopathy but can also occur in a …

Background—Diastolic dysfunction is a major pathophysiological abnormality in
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Doppler echocardiographic parameters correlate with …

The concept of “diastolic” heart failure grew out of the observation that many patients who
have the symptoms and signs of heart failure had an apparently normal left ventricular (LV) …

To determine the efficacy of and clinical response to several pharmacologic agents for
treatment of idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats, 17 symptomatic cats were …

The early detection of abnormal left ventricular systolic functions in patients with
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains a challenge. The aim of this study was to …

Abnormal left ventricular diastolic function is being increasingly recognised in patients with
clinical heart failure and normal systolic function. A simple routine radionuclide measure of …

ABSTRACT The concept of ''diastolic''heart failure grew out of the observation that many
patients who have the symptoms and signs of heart failure had an apparently normal left …

In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), it is difficult to determine the severity of
left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. Three different patterns of LV posterior wall motion …

Abnormalities of ventricular and atrial function that result in suboptimal left ventricular (LV)
filling in diastole are thought to be important causes of symptoms and functional limitation in …

Despite major advances in therapies, chronic heart failure (CHF) and hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM) are still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These …
