  2. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure_with...

    Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction – the percentage of the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat divided by the volume of blood when the left ventricle is maximally filled – is normal, defined as greater than 50%; [1] this may be measured by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization.

  3. Diabetic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_cardiomyopathy

    Defects in cellular processes such as autophagy and mitophagy are thought to contribute to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. [2] Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized functionally by ventricular dilation, enlargement of heart cells, prominent interstitial fibrosis and decreased or preserved systolic function [5] in the presence of a diastolic dysfunction.

  4. Hypertensive heart disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertensive_heart_disease

    According to ICD-10, hypertensive heart disease (I11), and its subcategories: hypertensive heart disease with heart failure (I11.0) and hypertensive heart disease without heart failure (I11.9) are distinguished from chronic rheumatic heart diseases (I05-I09), other forms of heart disease (I30-I52) and ischemic heart diseases (I20-I25).

  5. Restrictive cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_cardiomyopathy

    Diagnosis is typically made via echocardiography. Patients will demonstrate normal systolic function, diastolic dysfunction, and a restrictive filling pattern. [9] 2-dimensional and Doppler studies are necessary to distinguish RCM from constrictive pericarditis.

  6. Acute decompensated heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_decompensated_heart...

    Cardiac symptoms of heart failure include chest pain/pressure and palpitations.Common noncardiac signs and symptoms of heart failure include loss of appetite, nausea, weight loss, bloating, fatigue, weakness, low urine output, waking up at night to urinate, and cerebral symptoms of varying severity, ranging from anxiety to memory impairment and confusion.

  7. Diastolic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diastolic_function

    In clinical cardiology the term "diastolic function" is most commonly referred as how the heart fills. [1] Parallel to "diastolic function", the term " systolic function" is usually referenced in terms of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), which is the ratio of stroke volume and end-diastolic volume . [ 2 ]

  8. Heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

    [10] Heart failure with recovered ejection fraction (HFrecovEF or HFrecEF): patients previously with HFrEF with complete normalization of left ventricular ejection (≥50%). [64] [65] Heart failure may also be classified as acute or chronic. Chronic heart failure is a long-term condition, usually kept stable by the treatment of symptoms.

  9. Dilated cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilated_cardiomyopathy

    The progression of heart failure is associated with left ventricular remodeling, which manifests as gradual increases in left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, wall thinning, and a change in chamber geometry to a more spherical, less elongated shape. This process is usually associated with a continuous decline in ejection fraction
