Research suggests there’s an indirect link between anxiety and diastolic dysfunction, a condition related to how your heart fills with blood. Anxiety is a natural state of readiness. It’s your brain’s ...

Diastolic heart failure means there’s a problem with your heart’s ability to fill with blood. It’s a type of congestive heart failure where your heart cannot work efficiently, leading to fluid ...

Diastolic dysfunction increasingly is recognized as an important cause of congestive heart failure (CHF). In this study, Mayo Clinic researchers surveyed a random sample of 2042 adults (age, 45 or ...

Hypertension is believed to be the single greatest factor influencing the development of heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also known as diastolic heart ...

Diastolic function, the combined effect of myocardial relaxation, recoil forces, stiffness and atrial function, describes the ability of the ventricle to fill up with blood and prepare a stroke volume ...

Galectin-3 and Suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (ST2) are known markers of cardiac fibrosis. We investigated the prognostic value of fibrotic markers for the development of diastolic dysfunction and ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, a ...
