One of the most challenging nonpharmacological interventions to contrast HF progression is exercise training, which is an approach used, since early 1990s, in heart failure with reduced ejection ...

Bedside maneuvers that accentuate the murmur include assuming the standing position after squatting and performing the Valsalva maneuver, there may also be an associated systolic murmur of mitral ...

Predictors of an adverse event included emergency operation (odds ratio: 6.8), ejection fraction less than 45% (p < 0.001) and elevated right ventricular systolic pressure by 40 mmHg or more (p ...

Introduction Heart failure is caused primarily by systolic or diastolic dysfunction. Systolic dysfunction is defined as an abnormality in systolic contraction leading to a low left ventricular ...

A pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than 52 mmHg was able to predict a postoperative ventilation time exceeding 21 h. Conclusion Higher levels of inflammatory cytokines were observed in ...

The interventricular septum affects the calculation of RV longitudinal strain because it is a part of both ventricles. A study involving 27 patients with severe systolic heart failure (ejection ...

imageFrom November 2019 to December 2022, 359 subjects undergoing invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing for heart failure symptoms were enrolled. After excluding those without HFpEF (resting ...
