Friedreich Ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive disease in which a mitochondrial
protein, frataxin, is severely decreased in its expression. In addition to progressive ataxia …

Advanced heart failure (HF) may occur at any level of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction
(LVEF). The latter, which is widely utilized for the evaluation of LV systolic performance and …

Background The left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and left atrial reservoir
strain (LARS) are considered as sensitive and reliable markers of cardiac remodeling and …

Aims Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are at high risk for
hospitalization and mortality and many of these patients experience a deterioration in left …

There is limited data on whether diastolic dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF) and
recovered ejection fraction (HFrecEF) is associated with worse prognosis. We …

Aims Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are characterized
by impaired diastolic function. Left ventricular (LV) strain–volume loops (SVL) represent the …

Objective This study was designed to compare the effects of levosimendan and dobutamine
on hemodynamics and clinical efficacy in patients with severe septic cardiomyopathy (left …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) use in the context
of heart failure (HF) has increased over the last decade as it is able to provide detailed …

Background This study aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride–
glucose (TyG) index and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with …

Heart failure (HF) is a progressive condition with a clinical picture resulting from reduced
cardiac output (CO) and/or elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures (LVFP). The original …
