Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

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 ...

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

Objective: To provide an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), as well as its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical evidence regarding its pharmacologic management.
