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 order to assess the left ventricular (LV) longitudinal rotation (LR) in primary hypertension (PH) patients with a normal LV ejection fraction. Conventional echocardiography was performed in 61 ...

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 ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (known as HFpEF), is the most common kind of heart failure, affecting millions globally. The heart still pumps, it just can't relax and fill ...

How does the ejection fraction (EF) calculated during the sestamibi imaging of a cardiac stress test correlate with an EF measured with a two-dimensional cardiogram? — Patricia Gable, FNP-BC, Cadillac ...

Heart disease affects women differently than men, and understanding those differences can be lifesaving. Dr. Sharonne N. Hayes, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist and leading expert in the field of women's ...

Heart failure (HF) comprises overlapping phenotypes affecting contractile and diastolic function to variable extents. Thus, while systolic HF is characterized by reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection ...

Recent studies have shown a poor prognosis for patients with heart failure who have a normal ejection fraction, 1 a finding that differs markedly from the results of randomized, controlled trials. 2,3 ...

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, ...
