It is a common perception that approximately 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present with a normal or near-normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ("HF with preserved systolic function"), ...

Routine quantitative CT scans performed during acute COPD exacerbations can reveal undiagnosed cardiac dysfunction, with increased airway wall thickness signalling impaired left ventricular function.

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...

Samsung is working on ways to detect Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) using the Galaxy Watch. It has also conducted trials and received approval from South Korea’s Ministry of Food and ...

Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Refining transverse aortic constriction (TAC) models helps reduce variability and improve reproducibility in heart failure research.
