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 ...

People with mildly reduced ejection fraction, a distinct group with unique needs, account for nearly one-quarter of HF cases.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 (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 ...

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 ...

The role of ACE inhibitors in the management of HFPEF is less significant compared with their role in the management of heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. For patients with ...
