Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is an integral part of
the routine evaluation of patients presenting with symptoms of dyspnea or heart failure. The …

Diastolic dysfunction represents a combination of impaired left ventricular (LV) relaxation,
restoration forces, myocyte lengthening load, and atrial function, culminating in increased LV …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of empagliflozin on
diastolic function in a nondiabetic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) …

The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function should be an integral part of a
routine examination, particularly in patients presenting with dyspnea or heart failure. About …

Background—After acute myocardial infarction (AMI), diastolic function assessed by Doppler
echocardiography provides important prognostic information that is incremental to systolic …
