Defining left atrial (LA) function has recently emerged as a powerful parameter, particularly
in evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and heart failure with …

Approximately half of all patients with heart failure (HF) have a preserved ejection fraction,
and the prevalence is growing rapidly given the aging population in many countries and the …

Aims We evaluated the impact of echocardiographic epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on
cardiovascular haemodynamics, metabolic profile and prognosis in heart failure (HF) using …

Research in the last decade has substantially advanced our understanding of the
pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential usefulness and clinical
relevance of adding left atrial (LA) strain to left atrial volume index (LAVI) in the detection of …

Approximately half of all patients with heart failure have preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
and, as life expectancies continue to increase in western societies, the prevalence of HFpEF …

Aims Left atrial (LA) function is impaired in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) and predicts disease severity and risk of adverse outcome. We sought to evaluate …

Objectives The authors explored a deep neural network (DeepNN) model that integrates
multidimensional echocardiographic data to identify distinct patient subgroups with heart …

Left atrial (LA) strain has emerged as a useful parameter for the assessment of left
ventricular (LV) diastolic function and the estimation of LV filling pressures. Some have …

Aims Mild to moderate functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in patients with heart
failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) where it is usually considered as an …
