Compared with control, LV diastolic function improved after EVT, acutely and at follow-up, with increased septal and lateral e' velocities and decreased E/e' and left atrial volume index.

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is non-compliant and not able to accept blood return in a normal fashion from the left atrium. This can be a normal physiologic ...

Study investigated the associations between abnormal left ventricular diastolic function (ALVDF) and ambient air pollution.

Chronic heart failure occurs when either the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both require elevated filling pressures to maintain cardiac output. Heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific ...
