Heart failure is a heterogeneous syndrome. Approximately 30–50% of patients with heart failure have normal or near normal left ventricle function. Several epidemiological studies confirm that the ...

Heart failure in which left ventricular ejection fraction recovers into the normal range has many unknowns. Andrew Perry, MD, discusses key management strategies with Jane Wilcox, MD, of Northwestern ...

People with mildly reduced ejection fraction, a distinct group with unique needs, account for nearly one-quarter of HF cases.

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, but their effects in patients with heart ...

Most trials that have shown a benefit of beta-blocker treatment after myocardial infarction included patients with large myocardial infarctions and were conducted in an era before modern ...

Population-based studies report that the majority of elderly patients with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction (HF-NEF) and a history of hypertension. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition in which the heart does not fill with blood properly. In HFpEF, the heart can pump normally, but the heart is stiff and cannot ...

In contrast to the advances in therapy for systolic HF over the past three decades, which have improved mortality rates, no therapies have been proven to reduce mortality in patients with HFNEF (Table ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...
