In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery for ischemic cardiomyopathy, adjunctive cardiac shockwave therapy (SWT) improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the ...
Focused cardiac ultrasonography is a practical, transthoracic, qualitative or semiquantitative means of assessing cardiac size, structure, and function that is performed and interpreted by the ...
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"), ...
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 ...
Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.
Background Although the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with SLE is well-documented, effective tools for risk stratification remain elusive. This study sought to explore the ...
