Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) without symptoms, and heart failure (HF) with
preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represent the most common phenotypes of HF in …

Objectives The authors explored a deep neural network (DeepNN) model that integrates
multidimensional echocardiographic data to identify distinct patient subgroups with heart …

There is an extensive body of literature focused on sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction,
but results are conflicting and no objective definition of septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) has …

Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function plays a major role in the diagnosis and
prognosis of cardiac diseases, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We …

Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is recognized as playing a major role
in the pathophysiology of heart failure; however, clinical tools for identifying diastolic …

Diastolic filling of the ventricle is a complex interplay of volume and pressure, contingent on
active energy-dependent myocardial relaxation and myocardial stiffness. Abnormal diastolic …

Aims Age-related changes in cardiac structure and function are well recognized and make
the clinical determination of abnormal left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between extracellular
volume fraction (ECV), a noninvasive parameter that quantifies the degree of diffuse …

Background Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have
multiple cardiac reserve limitations during exercise. However, no data are available …

The definition of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has evolved from a
clinically based “diagnosis of exclusion” to definitions focused on objective evidence of …
