Correlation of β-adrenergic reactivity of erythrocyte membranes with clinical characteristics of patients with coronary artery disease and HF with preserved and reduced ejection fraction

Российский кардиологический журнал
Aim. To evaluate β-adrenergic reactivity of erythrocyte membranes (β-ARM) depending on clinical parameters in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved and reduced ejection fraction (EF), who had prior myocardial infarction.Material and methods ...

Current Treatment of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Should We Add Life to the Remaining Years or Add Years to the Remaining Life?

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2013
According to the ejection fraction, patients with heart failure may be divided into two different groups: heart failure with preserved or reduced ejection fraction. In recent years, accumulating studies showed that increased mortality and morbidity rates

Preoperative ejection fraction as a predictor of survival after coronary artery bypass grafting: comparison with a matched general population

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2010
Background Preoperative left ventricular dysfunction is an established risk factor for early and late mortality after revascularization. This retrospective analysis demonstrates the effects of preoperative ejection fraction on the short-term and long ...

Identification of ultrasound-contrast-agent dilution systems for ejection fraction measurements [PDF]

, 2005
Left ventricular ejection fraction is an important cardiac-efficiency measure. Standard estimations are based on geometric analysis and modeling; they require time and experienced cardiologists.

Carvedilol Compared With Metoprolol on Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft [PDF]

, 2011
A number of elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients have impaired underlying left ventricular function (poor ejection fraction). This study was performed to compare the effect of postoperative oral carvedilol versus metoprolol on ...

Lithopanspermia in Star Forming Clusters [PDF]

, 2005
This paper considers the lithopanspermia hypothesis in star forming groups and clusters, where the chances of biological material spreading from one solar system to another is greatly enhanced (relative to the field) due to the close proximity of the systems and lower relative velocities. These effects more than compensate for the reduced time spent in

The Prognostic Value of the Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume, Ejection Fraction and the Development of Dyarrhythmia in Ischemic Heart Disease.

مجلة كلية الطب, 2010

Risk related to pre–diabetes mellitus and diabetes mellitus in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: insights from prospective comparison of ARNI with ACEI to determine impact on global mortality and morbidity in heart failure trial [PDF]

, 2016
Background—The prevalence of pre–diabetes mellitus and its consequences in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction are not known.

Ejection and Capture Dynamics in Restricted Three-Body Encounters [PDF]

, 2012
We study the tidal disruption of binaries by a massive point mass (e.g. the black hole at the Galactic center), and we discuss how the ejection and capture preference between unequal-mass binary members depends on which orbit they approach the massive object.

Beyond Ejection Fraction

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2016
For nearly half a century, ejection fraction has been the mainstay of the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function. Although it has served clinicians well, it is only an indirect measure of cardiac function, derived from the change in volume of the LV cavity.
