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 ...

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 ...

Q: I was recently diagnosed with mild heart failure. But my echocardiogram showed a normal ejection fraction. Why would I still have heart failure? A: Heart failure conjures up the image of your heart ...

Patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) have significant differences according to left ventricular ejection fraction, according to a study recently published in BMC Cardiovascular ...

"These findings suggest that small variations in the amount of fluid given to a patient with sepsis, or the decision to give less fluid to a patient because they have heart failure, may not have a ...

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 ...

"Medical Journeys" is a set of clinical resources reviewed by physicians, meant for the medical team as well as the patients they serve. Each episode of this 12-part journey through a disease state ...

Heart failure (HF) imposes a large and growing burden on the population, with a prevalence that is projected to increase to more than 8 million adults by 2030. The high risk of morbidity and mortality ...

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 ...
