Cardiovascular diseases, the leading global cause of mortality, are frequently driven by hypertension, which contributes to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and heart failure. Although ejection ...

More than half of patients hospitalized with influenza had signs of left ventricular (LV) or right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.

Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) was common in patients receiving right ventricular pacing, and a history of ischaemic heart disease and a high ventricular pacing burden were identified as ...

Left ventricular dysfunction is a known risk factor for morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. The prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) among those with ...

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"), ...

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 ...

Medically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MD Systolic congestive heart failure involves the left side of your heart losing its ability to pump effectively.Common symptoms include shortness of breath, ...

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a clinical syndrome of maternal endothelial dysfunction manifesting with elevated blood pressure and ...

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 ...

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 ...
