There is an unmet need for effective treatment strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality in
patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Until recently, attention in …

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a pathophysiological condition of cardiac structure and
function changes in diabetic patients without coronary artery disease, hypertension, and …

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a distinct primary disease process, independent of coronary
artery disease, which leads to heart failure in diabetic patients. Epidemiological and clinical …

Individuals with diabetes are at a significantly greater risk of developing cardioymyopathy
and heart failure despite adjusting for concomitant risks such as coronary artery disease or …

Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HF-NEF) is frequently believed to be more
common in women than in men. However, the interaction of gender and age has rarely been …

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist in
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The mechanisms underlying the …

RV function is an important component of overall heart function with prognostic value in
predicting symptomatic limitation and outcome in different cardiovascular pathologies. RV …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate atrial electromechanical coupling
obtained by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), left and right ventricular diastolic functions, and …

Aims/hypothesis Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterised by diastolic dysfunction, oxidative
stress, fibrosis, apoptosis and pathological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Phosphoinositide 3 …

The prevalence of heart failure independent of coronary artery disease and hypertension is
increasing rapidly in diabetic patients. Thus, this pathophysiology has been recognized as a …
