Advancing stages of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction may be linked to all-cause mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, according to data published in JACC: Cardiovascular ...

Advanced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients undergoing TAVR is linked with almost a fourfold increase in risk of postprocedural death as early as 30 days postprocedure, ...

Nocturnal hypertension is an important predictor of the progression of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes without HF. An important predictor for the progression of left ...

New research highlights the impact of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) on mortality risk after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) but also how deadly right ventricular ...

Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...

Recently, while preparing an updated presentation to the Saint Louis University cardiology fellows on "diastolic dysfunction," the Skeptical Cardiologist came across a document entitled "What Does ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is associated with worse health status among patients with severe aortic stenosis, but TAVR leads to clinically meaningful symptomatic improvements regardless of ...

Repolarization dispersion has been linked to echocardiographic measures of diastolic dysfunction in past research, and a recent study found it potentially indicative of pulmonary arterial hypertension ...

A recent study published in BMC Public Health investigated the associations between abnormal left ventricular diastolic function (ALVDF) and ambient air pollution. Study: Air pollution is associated ...

While cardiovascular disease (CVD) is more common in young men than in young women, the risk of CVD increases for postmenopausal women, making them nearly as susceptible as men. Menopause typically ...
