Is your heart functioning properly? There is a test which can measure this, which is often recommended by medical professionals. Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement, expressed as a percentage, of ...

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 ...

Jim Januzzi, MD, outlines a multitude of drug treatment options for heart failure revolving around patient ejection fraction (EF) status. Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA: As we start to transition ...

Patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) and normal to near-normal ejection fraction (EF) have different pathophysiological alterations compared with those with HF and low EF, and current ...

A 13-indicator routine laboratory model shows moderate discrimination for distinguishing heart failure with reduced ejection ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
