It has been further demonstrated that lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) as well diastolic blood pressure (DBP) confers benefit. [1] In the late 1970s, reexamination of Framingham data ...

Impaired relaxation (group 1) indicates low age-specific E:A and normal E:E'; elevated end-diastolic pressure (group 2) indicates normal age-specific E/A and high E/E' and confirmed by the ...

Do you always get a high diastolic BP reading? Do not take it lightly as ignoring it could lead to health emergencies. Diastolic blood pressure, or the bottom number that you get while measuring blood ...

Diastolic blood pressure is the number at the bottom of a blood pressure reading. For example, a standard blood pressure is 120/80 ...

Scientists at the University of Miami recently conducted a study that sheds new light on how blood pressure affects our brain ...

This phenomenon is known as direct diastolic ventricular interaction. The interaction is noticeably increased when the force exerted by the surrounding pericardium is raised, which is termed ...

Enlargement of the heart’s left upper chamber in sickle cell patients is associated with worse disease severity, per a new ...

A new study found that having your arm in the wrong position during blood pressure checks — either at home or the doctor’s office — can result in readings “markedly higher” than when your arm is in ...

For patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), endovascular treatment (EVT) improves left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, according to a study published online Sept.

The following is a summary of “Subtle echocardiographic markers of CAD: looking beyond the LV ejection fraction in stable ...
