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 ...

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterised by systemic congestion and elevated left ...

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, ...

If you’ve been diagnosed with heart failure, your doctor has likely ordered a test of your heart's ejection fraction (EF). The EF is a measure of how efficiently your heart is pumping blood out to the ...

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 ...

BARCELONA, Spain—Two in five patients with heart failure (HF) have high inflammatory risk, with a similar prevalence across ...

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) describes a type of heart failure in which the heart loses its ability to contract typically. Because of this, the heart cannot pump with enough ...

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 ...

Nitrates are commonly prescribed to enhance activity tolerance in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction. We compared the effect of isosorbide mononitrate or placebo on daily ...

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 ...
