Contemporary characteristics and outcomes in chagasic heart failure compared with other nonischemic and ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Chagas’ disease is an important cause of cardiomyopathy in Latin America. We aimed to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction caused by Chagas’ disease, with other ...

Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation is thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with mid‐range ejection fraction and HF with preserved ejection fraction, but its effect on outcome is unknown.

Is low cardiac ejection fraction a risk factor for stroke? [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Reduced ejection fraction (EF) ?35% has been suggested as a criterion for anticoagulation in persons with heart failure in sinus rhythm, but the literature supporting EF as an independent stroke risk factor is conflicting. We here

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex clinical condition. Initially called diastolic heart failure, it soon became clear that this condition is more than the opposite side of systolic heart failure. It is increasingly prevalent and lethal.

Visual versus fully automated assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction
Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare three different echocardiographic methods commonly used in the assessment of left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction (EF). Methods: All patients underwent full echocardiography including LVEF assessed using

952-30 Left Ventricular Ejection Performance Improves Late After Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Aortic Stenosis and Reduced Ejection Fraction [PDF]
To assess the time course and magnitude of change in left ventricular (LV) wall stress and ejection performance indices, 24 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis were prospectively evaluated.

Background: Recent studies have indicated that heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) within different left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ranges presents distinct morphological and pathophysiological characteristics ...
