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 ...

Patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) have significant differences according to left ventricular ejection fraction, according to a study recently published in BMC Cardiovascular ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has limited treatment options and remains a medical challenge. HFpEF is characterized by diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction.

Patients with newly diagnosed heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) commonly have improvements in their LVEF, but that doesn’t mean they can let their guard down, data from a large ...

Heart failure (HF) imposes a large and growing burden on the population, with a prevalence that is projected to increase to more than 8 million adults by 2030. The high risk of morbidity and mortality ...

If you practice inpatient medicine, you've managed patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Formerly known as diastolic dysfunction, HFpEF is borderline ubiquitous on the ...

Among iron-deficient patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), receiving intravenous iron supplementation was found to be safe but resulted in mixed findings, according to a ...

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 ...
