Heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and with preserved ejection fraction
Herz, 2018The annual "heart report" published by the German Heart Foundation (Deutsche Herzstiftung) in December 2017 indicates that heart failure (ICD I50) remains the number one diagnosis of in-hospital-treated patients throughout Germany. For some time, the clinical diagnosis of heart failure has been verified by echocardiographic parameters as well as ...

Ejection fraction: a measure of desperation? [PDF]
Heart, 2007 Ejection fraction is the most widely used measure of left ventricular systolic function, but why? It was initially adopted before the introduction of echocardiography, when ventricular function was assessed by ventriculography at cardiac catheterisation.

Heart failure with normal ejection fraction
Heart, 2009Is underdiagnosed, has a high mortality, and lacks evidence based treatment The typical image of a patient with heart failure is of a breathless person with a large flabby heart, which contracts poorly with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2017Heart failure is a global public health problem that affects more than 26 million people worldwide. The global burden of heart failure is growing and is expected to increase substantially with the ageing of the population. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction accounts for approximately 50% of all cases of heart failure in the United States and ...

Is heart failure with midrange ejection fraction similar to preserved ejection fraction? Against
Revista Clínica Española (English Edition), 2017The new European guidelines (2016) for heart failure (HF) include the concept of HF with intermediate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), i.e. an LVEF between 40 and 49%. Although few studies have been carried out, there are claims that HF with intermediate LVEF is not the same as HF with preserved LVEF.

Dynamic ventriculography and the role of the ejection fraction
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1975Cardiac function is best evaluated in two different states since function may be normal at rest and abnormalities may become evident only when a load or stress is applied to the cardiovascular system. Such an intervention is exercise, typically used to provoke changes in the electrocardiogram or phonocardiogram, particularly when these are normal at ...

Automated calculation of gallbladder ejection fraction
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1983We have developed a computer method which by automatically locating the border of the gallbladder in each image and subtracting a varying location-dependent background corresponding to the gallbladder border overcomes the difficulties associated with quantitating gallbladder contraction.

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2011
Heart failure (HF) is a significant and increasing global public health problem. In the United States, hospital admissions for a principal diagnosis of HF increased from 399 000 in 1979 to 1 093 000 in 2003. 1 The diagnosis of HF continues to be associated with poor quality of life, high morbidity, and high mortality despite contemporary HF management.

Is heart failure with midrange ejection fraction similar to preserved ejection fraction? In favor
Revista Clínica Española (English Edition), 2017Abstract Basing heart failure (HF) classification on the echocardiographic values of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been useful in defining two sub-types of HF:HF with reduced LVEF and HF with preserved LVEF. A new category has recently been defined: HF with midrange LVEF (40–49%).
