Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in clinical practice is generally diagnosed by imaging.
Recognition of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has increased interest in the …

A spinal cord injury (SCI) interferes with the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The effect on
the cardiovascular system will depend on the extent of damage to the spinal/central …

Several cardiac imaging modalities are able to visualize the left atrium (LA) and, therefore,
allow for quantification of both structural and functional properties of this cardiac chamber. In …

Background The selective cardiac myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil has been shown to
improve cardiac function in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction. Its …
