Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (EF; HFpEF) accounts for 50% of HF
cases, and its prevalence relative to HF with reduced EF continues to rise. In contrast to HF …

Over the past decade, myocardial structure, cardiomyocyte function, and intramyocardial
signaling were shown to be specifically altered in heart failure with preserved ejection …

Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to physiological and pathological overload. In
response to the overload, individual cardiac myocytes become mechanically stretched and …

Hypertension remains a major contributor to the global burden of disease. The
measurement of blood pressure continues to have pitfalls related to both physiological …

Aims Women are more likely to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) than men. We studied the relationship between sex and cardiovascular structure …

Arterial hypertension remains the most frequent cardiovascular (CV) risk factor, and is
responsible for a huge global burden of disease. Echocardiography is the first-line imaging …

Background This study examined the independent relationships of device‐based measured
sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA) in relation to cardiac structural and functional …

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has reached a pandemic scale. These patients are
at a substantially elevated risk of developing cardiovascular disease, with heart failure (HF) …

Background Male sex is an independent predictor of worse survival in pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH). This finding might be explained by more severe pulmonary vascular …

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is an important physiological compensatory mechanism in
response to chronic increase in hemodynamic overload. There are two different forms of LV …
