DOI: 10.1007/s12265-018-9816-y
Abstract: Understanding the aetiology of heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction requires knowledge of biomechanical factors such as diastolic myocardial stiffness and stress. Cine CMR images and intra-ventricular pressure recordings were acquired… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.642840
Abstract: Cardiomyocytes are permanently exposed to mechanical stimulation due to cardiac contractility. Passive myocardial stiffness is a crucial factor, which defines the physiological ventricular compliance and volume of diastolic filling with blood. Heart diseases often present… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.928244
Abstract: Increased myocardial stiffness is critically involved in heart diseases with impaired cardiac compliance, especially heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Myocardial stiffness mainly derives from cardiomyocyte- and extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived passive stiffness. Titin, a… read more here.
