In infants with cardiomyopathy-associated chronic HF, baseline LVEF of less than 40% and β blocker use indicate a decreased chance of LVEF normalization.

Researchers suggest an application to FDA may be made within the next 12 months, requesting approval to carry out a human clinical trial with the gene therapy.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is underdiagnosed in patients with severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) of undefined etiology (isolated STR).

A third heart sound, or S3, is a low-frequency, extra heart sound that may be heard with a stethoscope right after the normal S1 and S2 heart sounds. S1 and S2 are the "lub-dub" sounds of a heartbeat ...
