Heart failure is a syndrome characterized initially by left ventricular dysfunction that triggers
countermeasures aimed to restore cardiac output. These responses are compensatory at …

The incidence of heart failure is primarily flat or declining for a presumably reflecting better
management of cardiovascular diseases, but that of heart failure with preserved ejection …

The left atrium plays an important role in the maintenance of cardiovascular and
neurohumoral homeostasis in heart failure. However, with progressive left ventricular …

Rossi et al Left Atrium in HFpEF 1043 also regulates vasopressin production, which is
essential for water and electrolyte balance. The primary stimulus for its release is an …

Aims In patients with heart failure (HF), chronically raised left ventricular (LV) filling
pressures lead to progressive left atrial (LA) dysfunction and fibrosis. We aimed to assess …

Aims Left atrial (LA) dysfunction can be associated with left ventricular (LV) disorders;
however, its clinical significance has not been well-studied in patients with acute heart …

Background & Aims Cardiovascular disease is the principle cause of death in patients with
elevated liver fat unrelated to alcohol consumption, more so than liver-related morbidity and …

Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and anemia are related to some cardiovascular
diseases and can predict poor outcomes. Both of them can damage the heart in their own …

Echocardiographic assessment of left atrial size from M‐mode or 2D echocardiography
measurements has been used in clinical and research studies for years, but its accuracy is …

Background Heart failure (HF) patients present with a variety of symptoms at different stages
of the disease, but the underlying pathophysiology still is unclear. Left atrial (LA) function …
