Diastolic function is a complex and multifactorial process that combines the LV‐LA pressure gradient, passive and active relaxation, ventricular restoring forces, and end‐diastolic LV compliance. 13 ...

Background and objectives Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is commonly associated with pulmonary hypertension (PHT); however, the factors associated with the presence and severity of PHT ...

Impairment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function as well as systolic function appear very early in the course of heart disease.

The echocardiographic techniques to assess early subclinical changes in systolic and diastolic LV function have evolved rapidly over the past 10 years.

Background— Regression of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with normalization of diastolic function has been reported in patients with aortic stenosis late after aortic valve replacement (AVR). The ...

Quantitative analysis of the heart is extremely necessary and significant for detecting and diagnosing heart disease, yet there are still some challenges. In this study, we propose a new end-to-end ...

Objective To investigate the prognostic impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in patients with moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved LV systolic function. Methods Patients with a ...

Background: Recently, it has been reported that frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) may be associated with causing heart failure in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
