Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal ejection fraction is between 55% to 70%. A low ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Ejection fraction (EF) ...

Is your heart functioning properly? There is a test which can measure this, which is often recommended by medical professionals. Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement, expressed as a percentage, of ...

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 ...

There may be a future for cardiac myosin inhibitors in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), according to the proof-of-concept EMBARK-HFpEF trial. An established cardiac myosin ...

Cystatin C (CysC) is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with HF across the ejection fraction (EF) spectrum.

Background Introduction of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has transformed the care of heart failure (HF) with ...

Background Real-life data is very useful for gaining a better understanding of care in practice and identifying areas for ...

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 ...

Objective: To provide an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), as well as its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical evidence regarding its pharmacologic management.
