Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal EF is 55% to 70%, meaning the heart pumps out at least half of the blood in its left ventricle with each beat. An EF below 50% ...
"These findings suggest that small variations in the amount of fluid given to a patient with sepsis, or the decision to give less fluid to a patient because they have heart failure, may not have a ...
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 ...
Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), lower versus higher ranges of EF signal fundamentally different morphologies and hemodynamic responses, which may have ...
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 ...
(UPDATED) Full results of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial affirm that empagliflozin (Jardiance; Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly) lowers the risk of CV death/hospitalization for heart failure in patients ...
Sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto) became the first drug to get a broad heart failure indication that reaches into the normal ejection fraction range for prevention of cardiovascular death and ...
Background There is a lack of contemporary data describing patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction post ...
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, ...
