Increasing Self Care Compliance with Follow-up Appointments
<p>The congestive heart failure patient faces many challenges after discharge from the hospital. Learning how to manage diet, medications, and other lifestyle changes needed for symptom management can lead to multiple readmissions and rapid progression of condition. Many patients feel overwhelmed …

Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Adolescents with Overweight and Obesity: The Moderating Influence of Physical Activity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Metabolic Health
Lifelong preservation of left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) is an important goal for reducing the burden of diastolic heart failure and related adverse health outcomes. LVDF is strongly linked with obesity. The global obesity pandemic has already increased the burden of diastolic heart …

Kinematic Characterization of Left Ventricular Chamber Stiffness and Relaxation
<p>Heart failure is the most common cause of hospitalization today, and diastolic heart failure accounts for 40-50% of cases. Therefore, it is critical to identify diastolic dysfunction at a subclinical stage so that appropriate therapy can be administered before ventricular function is further, …

Identification of Transversely Isotropic Material Properties from Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Elastography
… are thought to be associated with some forms of diastolic heart failure. Although magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) has been used to estimate isotropic stiffness in the heart, myocardium has anisotropic material properties with greatest stiffness along the fibre direction. This thesis …
