The value of IGF-1 and IGFBP-1 in patients with heart failure with reduced, mid-range, and preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
, 2022 Background: Previous studies have reported inconsistent results regarding the implications of deranged insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)/insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) axis in patients with heart failure (HF).

Potention of L-carnitine supplementation on changes in ejection fraction and left ventricular dimension in case of dilatative cardiomyopathy in children [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Cardiomyopathy is a rare cardiac muscle disease with poor prognosis and high mortality. The main goal of dilated cardiomyopathy therapy is to restore and maximize cardiac function, but to date no medication has met these criteria.

Left ventricular ejection fraction is determined by both global myocardial strain and wall thickness
International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2015 Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the mathematical relationship between left ventricular ejection fraction and global myocardial strain. A reduction in myocardial strain would be expected to cause a fall in ejection fraction. However,

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018 Background Free fatty acids (FFAs) predicted the risk of heart failure (HF) and were elevated in HF with very low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) compared to healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate whether total levels of FFA

Automated echocardiographic detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction using artificial intelligence [PDF]
, 2023 Background: Detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) involves integration of multiple imaging and clinical features which are often discordant or indeterminate. Objectives: We applied artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze a

A novel three-dimensional and tissue Doppler echocardiographic index for diagnosing and prognosticating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
, 2022 Introduction: The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains challenging. In this study, a novel echocardiography index based on three-dimensional and tissue Doppler echocardiography for diagnosing and estimating ...

Exercise training in heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2022 Background While exercise training (ET) is an established tool in heart failure (HF), no research to date has analysed the efficacy of ET in both preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction phenotypes across the same clinically important ...
