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 ...

Diastolic heart failure is defined clinically when signs and symptoms of heart failure are present in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction >45%).

In systolic heart failure, the heart's left lower chamber doesn't contract well, which reduces its force for pumping blood. Diastolic heart failure happens when the left ventricle becomes too ...

Systolic congestive heart failure, or systolic heart failure, is a type of heart failure that involves the left side of the heart. As the left side of the heart begins losing some function ...

This can be a normal physiologic change with aging of the heart or result in elevated left atrial pressures leading to the clinical manifestations of diastolic congestive heart failure.

and a pulmonary arterial systolic pressure of 65 mm Hg (normal, <35). How would you further evaluate and treat this patient? Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a heterogeneous syndrome.

The shift in focus to systolic blood pressure could lead to significant changes in hypertension management. Doctors may ...
