Background Although the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with SLE is well-documented, effective tools for risk stratification remain elusive. This study sought to explore the ...

Higher blood levels of allergy molecule IgE were associated with worsening right heart function in people with PAH, a study ...

Objective: To obtain the derived parameter left atrial stiffness index (LASI) using two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) and evaluate the diagnostic value o ...

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

New analyses out to 24-months showed improvement in heart and lung function compared to expected declines in DMD natural history -- Data expand ...

Abstract: Accurate segmentation of the ventricles plays a crucial role in determining cardiac functional parameters such as ventricular volume, ventricular mass, and ejection fraction. However, poor ...

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 ...

Routine heart ultrasound measurements of left ventricular (LV) underfilling may significantly improve the prediction of poorer outcomes in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) beyond ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is widely recognized as the gold standard for the non-invasive ...

LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...
