Association of insulin use with LV remodeling and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: assessed by cardiac MRI
BackgroundInsulin is commonly used in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to achieve glycemic control. However, recent evidence showed that insulin use...

Heart Failure with Recovered Ejection Fraction in Patients with Vinculin Loss-of-function Variants
Predictors of myocardial recovery in heart failure (HF) are poorly understood. We explored if vinculin ( VCL ) variants are associated with myocardial...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness and Preserved Ejection Fraction Heart Failure
Purpose of the ReviewPreserved ejection fraction heart failure and obesity frequently coexist. Whether obesity plays a consistent role in the...
-
Myocardial Recovery and Relapse in Heart Failure With Improved Ejection Fraction
Purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to discuss myocardial recovery in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and to...

The measurement of the left ventricle ejection fraction by a bedside FoCUS examination
The use of point-of-care ultrasound is rapidly increasing in medical practice. This study aims to evaluate the left ventricle systolic function by...
-
Longitudinal strain correlates with 6-minute walk distance whereas ejection fraction and diastolic parameters do not
BackgroundImpaired functional capacity is a common symptom in patients with heart failure. Standard measures of left ventricular (LV) function, such...

Left Ventricular Systolic Function After 3 Months of SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy in Heart Failure Patients with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Not much is known about the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV)...

Intraventricular 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance for assessing patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a pilot study
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains challenging. Intraventricular four-dimensional flow (4D flow)...

Low-flow in aortic valve stenosis patients with reduced ejection fraction does not depend on left ventricular function
BackgroundPatients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) can be distinguished into high- (HG) and...

Evaluation the relationship between myocardial fibrosis and left ventricular torsion measured by cardiac magnetic resonance feature-tracking in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with preserved ejection fraction
The relationship between left ventricular (LV) torsion and myocardial fibrosis (MF) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with preserved...
-
Long-term outcomes prediction in diabetic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by cardiac MRI
ObjectivesWe aimed to explore imaging features including tissue characterization and myocardial deformation in diabetic heart failure with preserved...
-
Post-exercise left atrial conduit strain predicted hemodynamic change in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
ObjectivesLeft ventricle function directly impacts left atrial (LA) conduit function, and LA conduit strain is associated with exercise intolerance...
-
Left ventricular reverse remodeling following initiation of sacubitril/valsartan for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and low blood pressure
Sacubitril/valsartan has become an important first-line drug for symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients, especially with left ventricular (LV)...

Fractal analysis of left ventricular trabeculae in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients with multivessel coronary artery disease
ObjectivesEndocardial trabeculae undergo varicose changes and hyperplasia in response to hemodynamic influences and are a variable phenotype...
-
Clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
BackgroundWhether heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with an increased risk of develo** systolic dysfunction and...

Chronic high-rate pacing induces heart failure with preserved ejection fraction-like phenotype in Ossabaw swine
The lack of pre-clinical large animal models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a growing, yet unmet obstacle to...
-
Late-gadolinium enhancement is common in older pediatric heart transplant recipients and is associated with lower ejection fraction
BackgroundChronic graft failure and cumulative rejection history in pediatric heart transplant recipients (PHTR) are associated with myocardial...

Intact fibroblast growth factor 23 in heart failure with reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction
BackgroundFibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) has been associated to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure (HF) severity. We aimed to...
