Heart Failure with Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2015
Background: The prevalence and clinical outcomes of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction after acute myocardial infarction have not been well elucidated. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of heart failure with preserved left

The Value of Right Ventricular Longitudinal Strain in the Evaluation of Adult Patients With Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: a New Tool for a Contemporary Challenge [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVE: The role of right ventricular longitudinal strain for assessing patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate its relation with other structural and functional parameters in these ...

Estimation of Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions from cine-MRI Using 3D-CNN

Sensors, 2023
Cardiac function indices must be calculated using tracing from short-axis images in cine-MRI. A 3D-CNN (convolutional neural network) that adds time series information to images can estimate cardiac function indices without tracing using images with ...

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.

Heart Failure With Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009
It is estimated that approximately 50% of the heart failure population has a normal left ventricular ejection fraction, a complex broadly referred to as heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFNEF). While these patients have been considered in epidemiologic studies and clinical trials to represent a single pool of patients ...

Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: The ARIC Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Whether coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant risk factor for heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unclear. Methods and Results Among 9902 participants in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study,
