In infants with cardiomyopathy-associated chronic HF, baseline LVEF of less than 40% and β blocker use indicate a decreased chance of LVEF normalization.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation is thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with mid‐range ejection fraction and HF with preserved ejection fraction, but its ...
EF = ejection fraction; HF = heart failure; HR = hazard ratio; I-PRESERVE = irbesartan in heart failure with preserved systolic function; LV = left ventricular; MI = myocardial infarction ...
ejection fraction (LVEF), abnormal LV diastolic function is frequently present. HF with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) is, by definition, associated with a normal LVEF and diastolic ...
ANSWER: Heart failure is simply when the heart is unable to pump all the blood it needs to meet the body’s demands. Heart ...
Background Although the prognostic implications of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) are well recognised, they are less clear ...
A bedside transthoracic echocardiogram revealed slight left ventricular concentric hypertrophy with normal ejection fraction, normal morphological ... and galactosidase activity were all within normal ...
When looking at the heart, it was noted that early and sustained intervention of therapy resulted in an improved left ventricular ejection fraction ... close to the normal range.
GLS is an independent prognostic indicator associated with adverse outcomes even in those with normal LV systolic ejection fraction. It may improve the risk stratification of those with acute ...
