September 14, 2009 (Boston, Massachusetts) — Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can improve symptom status and shrink ventricular volumes in patients with LV ejection fractions higher than the 35 ...

Among patients with advanced heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, all-cause and cardiovascular deaths have declined over two decades, but uptake of advanced therapies remains low.

Heart failure, a condition where the heart struggles to pump blood efficiently to meet the body's needs, comes in various forms and one of them, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), ...

In a population of patients with HF and low ejection, those aged at least 63 years had significantly reduced verbal memory compared with younger patients, new study results indicated. The ...

Background and objectives Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy is indicated following a myocardial infarction ...

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 ...

Q: Can you tell me about ejection fractions? My wife’s heart doctor recently told us that her heart is weak, and she has a low ejection fraction. He did not discuss this much, but he has put her on ...

A pooled analysis of two randomized trials has demonstrated the beneficial effects of empagliflozin in patients with heart failure with a reduced and preserved ejection fraction. The late breaking ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ejection fraction (EF) quantifies the proportion of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat and serves as the cornerstone for categorising heart failure into reduced (HFrEF), ...
