May 17, 2007 (Durham, NC) – Heart failure with preserved systolic function is common among patients with non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE ACS), a new analysis of the CRUSADE ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is prognostically relevant, associated with major cardiovascular risk factors and with atherosclerosis. However, whether LVH is independently associated with ...
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome affecting around 70 million individuals globally. It has a prevalence of 2% in ...
August 14, 2007 (Washington, DC) - Patients hospitalized with heart failure and preserved LV systolic function fare better during hospitalization than those with a low LVEF, but that advantage may go ...
Obstructive sleep apnea subjects the failing heart to adverse hemodynamic and adrenergic loads and may thereby contribute to the progression of heart failure. We hypothesized that treatment of ...
Right ventricular systolic function evaluated through VO2 max is a more accurate measure of functional capacity of persons with heart failure compared with left ventricular systolic function. This ...
Background: Prolonged steady state exercise can lead to a decrease in left ventricular (LV) function as well as promote the release of cardiac troponin T (cTnT). There is limited information on the ...
Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether biventricular pacing is ...
MicroRNAs are dysregulated in a setting of heart disease and have emerged as promising therapeutic targets. MicroRNA-34 family members (miR-34a, -34b, and -34c) are up-regulated in the heart in ...
