Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify cardiovascular features of patients with
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) that differ from those in individuals with …

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is an important risk factor for the development of heart failure
with preserved ejection fraction. Although heart failure in hypertensive patients is usually …

Background In adult Fontan patients, ventricular or arterial dysfunction may impact
homeostasis of the Fontan circulation and predispose to heart failure. We sought to …

Purpose The left ventricle (LV) ejects blood into the proximal aorta. Age and hypertension
are associated with stiffening and dilation of the aortic root, typically viewed as indicative of …

Elderly female hypertensives with arterial stiffening constitute a majority of patients with
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition characterized by inability …

Background: To explore the diagnosis and evaluation efficacy of liver iron concentration
(LIC) based on magnetic resonance quantitative technique in liver iron overload in patients …

Pressure-tip catheters (PTCs) are used to evaluate ventricular mechanics during surgical
repair of congenital heart disease in children. Studies in infants require miniaturized …

Abnormal vascular-ventricular coupling has been suggested to contribute to heart failure
with preserved ejection fraction in elderly females. Failure to increase stroke volume (SV) …
