Ejection fraction (EF) measures the amount of blood pumped out of your heart's lower chambers, or ventricles. It's the percentage of blood that leaves your ventricle when your heart contracts. The ...

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 specialist at the virtual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology debated whether the role of ejection fraction calculations is relevant in the treatment of their patients. Burkert ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
