Ejection fraction refers to how much blood the heart pumps out during a contraction. An abnormal ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Some people might need treatment to improve their ...

Ejection fraction is a measurement doctors can use to help diagnose heart failure. A normal range is between 52% and 72% for males and between 54% and 74% for females. An ejection fraction that’s ...

Ejection fraction (EF) measures the amount of blood pumped out of your heart's lower chambers, or ventricles. It's the percentage of blood that leaves your ventricle when your heart contracts. The ...

Jim Januzzi, MD, outlines a multitude of drug treatment options for heart failure revolving around patient ejection fraction (EF) status. Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA: As we start to transition ...

Heart failure is a heterogeneous syndrome. Approximately 30–50% of patients with heart failure have normal or near normal left ventricle function. Several epidemiological studies confirm that the ...

Objective: To provide an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), as well as its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical evidence regarding its pharmacologic management.

Recent studies have shown a poor prognosis for patients with heart failure who have a normal ejection fraction, 1 a finding that differs markedly from the results of randomized, controlled trials. 2,3 ...

Nitrates are commonly prescribed to enhance activity tolerance in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction. We compared the effect of isosorbide mononitrate or placebo on daily ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...
