A team of researchers from New Zealand, Australia, and other countries have discovered that diabetic hearts are missing an ...

Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...

Recently, while preparing an updated presentation to the Saint Louis University cardiology fellows on "diastolic dysfunction," the Skeptical Cardiologist came across a document entitled "What Does ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine have discovered an enzyme that regulates heart stiffness, setting the stage for developing novel treatments for heart failure. “When your ...

Scientists have reversed diabetic heart failure with a genetic therapy in mice and miniature human "hearts" grown from stem ...

Researchers have identified a potential treatment target for patients with a common type of heart failure. In a new study, the researchers tested the effect of an investigational drug called ...

Hypertension is a major cause of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, with a significant contribution to cardiovascular and overall mortality. 1 Hypertension also ...

A new study from the UC Davis School of Medicine found striking differences at the cellular level between male and female mice with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Mild and ...

Sudden cardiac death is a common cause of death in patients with reduced systolic ejection function. As part of a long-term observational study, MedUni Vienna researchers from the Division of ...

In contrast to HF with reduced EF, where events (e.g., myocardial infarction) often signal the onset of cardiac dysfunction and symptoms, this is not the case in HF with normal EF, which starts ...
