Researchers identified distinct demographic, clinical, and serologic predictors of incident LVSD and cardiac recovery among patients with SSc.

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath and ...

Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic ...

Heart failure sounds alarming—and rightfully so. Yet approximately 6.5 million Americans currently live with this condition, many with the specific variant called systolic heart failure, and a ...

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"), ...

Through a deep-learning model, researchers have shown that ordinary ECG images can be leveraged to identify patients with an LV ejection fraction below 40%. Their approach also appears able to ...

M ore than 6 million adults in the United States have heart failure. Of these, about half have diastolic heart failure and the other half have systolic heart failure. In February 2021, the U.S. Food ...

Each month, The Clinical Advisor makes one new clinical feature available ahead of print. Don’t forget to take the poll. The results will be published in the next month’s issue. The American Heart ...

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 ...

Diastolic dysfunction increasingly is recognized as an important cause of congestive heart failure (CHF). In this study, Mayo Clinic researchers surveyed a random sample of 2042 adults (age, 45 or ...
