Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether peripheral endothelial
dysfunction could predict the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with heart …

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is recognized as an important contributor to
diastolic heart failure and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The …

OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to more precisely evaluate the link between the
pseudonormal mitral filling pattern and death by way of systematic review and meta …

BACKGROUND Right ventriculo-arterial coupling (RV-PA) can be estimated by
echocardiography using the ratio between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion …

BACKGROUND: Two recent literature-based meta-analyses revealed that restrictive filling
pattern (RFP) was associated with a 4-fold increase in the risk of death in patients with heart …

Aims Regional heterogeneities in contraction contribute to heart failure with reduced
ejection fraction (HFrEF). We aimed to determine whether regional changes in myocardial …

Abstract Background: The Doppler echocardiographic restrictive mitral filling pattern (RFP) is
an important prognostic indicator in patients with heart failure (HF), but the interaction …

Anthracycline chemotherapy remains a critical component of cancer treatment despite its
established risk of cardiotoxicity. To investigate whether the AIDA protocol, which combines …

After cardiac transplant, there is often development of restrictive cardiac physiology. Little is
