BACKGROUND: Statins are the first-line therapy for lowering high lipid levels. Atorvastatin calcium (AtC) is the most commonly prescribed statin. It inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase which converts HMG-CoA into mevalonic acid, a cholesterol precursor.
We propose an independent objective method to characterize different patterns of functional responses to stress in the heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) syndrome by combining multiple temporally-aligned myocardial velocity traces at rest and during exercise, together with temporal information on the occurrence of cardiac events (valves openings/closures and atrial activation)....
