Aims Residual pulmonary congestion at discharge is associated with poor prognosis in heart
failure ( HF ), but its quantification through physical examination is challenging. Ultrasound …

Background— In heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction, right ventricular (RV)
impairment, as defined by reduced tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, is a predictor of …

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate whether post-ischemic left ventricular
(LV) remodeling might be induced by regional contractile dysfunction per se (ie, in the …

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a deadly pandemic that has affected millions of
people worldwide, is associated with cardiovascular complications, including venous and …

Aims Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) systolic velocities have been used to detect impaired
systolic function in patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction (HFnEF). However, …

Background: Myocardial performance index (MPI), or Tei index, is an indicator of systolic
and diastolic myocardial function. MPI increases in case of cardiac dysfunction; however, …

Objectives This subanalysis of the Study of the Effects of Nebivolol Intervention on Outcomes
and Hospitalisation in Seniors with Heart Failure (SENIORS) investigates whether …

Aims In patients with ischaemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and viable myocardium,
revascularization improves systolic function. Diastolic dysfunction is also present in such patients…

Aortic stenosis is one of the most frequent valvular diseases in developed countries, and its
impact on public health resources and assistance is increasing. A substantial proportion of …

Objective The aim of the study was to assess current management of patients with atrial
fibrillation (AF) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing coronary stenting. Design Non-…
