Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has a higher prevalence in women versus men. There are several proposed mechanisms to explain this sex discrepancy including differences in cardiovascular adaptation to comorbidities and potential underlying

Fractional flow reserve in patients with reduced ejection fraction
Abstract Aims Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has never been investigated in patients with reduced ejection fraction and associated coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated the impact of FFR on the management strategies of these patients and related outcomes.

Relations between heart failure, ejection fraction, arrhythmia suppression and mortality: Analysis of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial [PDF]
Objectives.We studied the relations between heart failure, ejection fraction, arrhythmia suppression and mortality.Background.Both left ventricular ejection fraction and functional class of heart failure are strongly associated with mortality after acute

The relationship between left ventricular wall thickness, myocardial shortening and ejection fraction in hypertensive heart disease:insights from cardiac magnetic resonance: LVH independently augments EF in hypertension [PDF]
Hypertensive heart disease is often associated with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction despite impaired myocardial shortening. The authors investigated this paradox in 55 hypertensive patients (52±13 years, 58% male) and 32 age‐ and sex ...

Variable circular polarisation associated with relativistic ejections from GRS 1915+105 [PDF]
We report the discovery of variable circularly polarised radio emission associated with relativistic ejections from GRS 1915+105, based on observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN).
