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 ...

Researchers discover a gut-brain-heart axis where the bacterial metabolite IAA regulates hypocretin neurons to control heart stiffness and blood pressure.

For the first time in the U.S., a clinical trial is underway that's evaluating a device designed to treat diastolic heart failure. The first patient enrolled in the randomized, blinded study is being ...

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 and heart failure affect millions worldwide. Yet in many patients, doctors cannot fully explain why the heart ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has limited treatment options and remains a medical challenge. HFpEF is characterized by diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction.

Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Blood pressure consists of two numbers. Systolic pressure, the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart beats, is the upper number. Diastolic pressure, the force exerted when the heart is at rest ...

Treatment with Esbriet, a drug approved for people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, was found to ease heart stiffness and rhythm issues.
