Left ventricular ejection fraction is determined by both global myocardial strain and wall thickness

open access: yesInternational 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,

Factors influencing left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with coronary microvascular disease and obstructive coronary artery disease

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective The aim of our research was to evaluate the relationship involving left ventricular ejection fraction, low density lipoprotein, B-type natriuretic peptide, Troponin I and coronary flow reserve, and to determine the predictors of left ...

Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 and echocardiography in sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) has emerged as a biomarker of cardiac stretch or remodeling, and has demonstrated a role in acutely decompensated heart failure. However, its role in sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction is still unknown.

Relation of Gallbladder Motility to Viscosity and Composition of Gallbladder Bile in Patients with Cholesterol Gallstones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background/Aims: Increased viscosity and supersaturation of cholesterol in gallbladder bile, as well as an impaired motility of the gallbladder, are considered to be important factors in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Medicine, 2018
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a heterogeneous collection of conditions that are unified by the presence of a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%, evidence of impaired diastolic function and elevated natriuretic peptide levels, all within the context of typical heart failure signs and symptoms.

Rehabilitation outcomes of stroke patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction in the subacute rehabilitation phase

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2018
Objective: To examine the left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with subacute stroke and compare rehabilitation outcomes between those with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and those without.

Autonomic regulation therapy to enhance myocardial function in heart failure patients: the ANTHEM-HFpEF study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BackgroundApproximately half of the patients presenting with new-onset heart failure (HF) have HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF).

Dynamical ejections of massive stars from young star clusters under diverse initial conditions [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 590, A107 (2016), 2016
We study the effects of initial conditions of star clusters and their massive star population on dynamical ejections of massive stars from star clusters up to an age of 3 Myr. We use a large set of direct N-body calculations for moderately massive star clusters (Mecl=$10^{3.5}$ Msun).

Longitudinal Changes in Ejection Fraction in Heart Failure Patients With Preserved and Reduced Ejection Fraction [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation: Heart Failure, 2012
Background— Heart failure (HF) can occur in patients with preserved (HFpEF, EF≥50%) or reduced (HFrEF, EF<50%) ejection fraction (EF), but changes in EF after HF diagnosis are not well described. Methods and Results— Among a community cohort of incident HF patients
