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 ...

Dr. Hare answers the question: 'Must I Repeat Ejection Fraction Tests?' — -- Question: Should the ejection fraction test be repeated at each visit to my doctor, or at all? Answer: The ejection ...

Patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) have significant differences according to left ventricular ejection fraction, according to a study recently published in BMC Cardiovascular ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has limited treatment options and remains a medical challenge. HFpEF is characterized by diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction.

Patients with newly diagnosed heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) commonly have improvements in their LVEF, but that doesn’t mean they can let their guard down, data from a large ...

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 ...
