Ejection fraction refers to how much blood the heart pumps out during a contraction. An abnormal ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Some people might need treatment to improve their ...

Ejection fraction is a measurement doctors can use to help diagnose heart failure. A normal range is between 52% and 72% for males and between 54% and 74% for females. An ejection fraction that’s ...

The arterial blood pressure (BP) waveform is transformed as it travels from the ascending aorta to the peripheral arteries. 1 In a healthy compliant vasculature systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse ...

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 ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Elevated baseline LDH levels predict worse clinical outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and modestly improve 1-year risk prediction when added to standard models.
