Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal EF is 55% to 70%, meaning the heart pumps out at least half of the blood in its left ventricle with each beat. An EF below 50% ...

A tradition at the HFSA meetings, the Hyde Park sessions give presenters, "unfettered by the usual standards of peer review," a chance to present or stimulate ideas that "may or may not be supported ...

"These findings suggest that small variations in the amount of fluid given to a patient with sepsis, or the decision to give less fluid to a patient because they have heart failure, may not have a ...

(UPDATED) Full results of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial affirm that empagliflozin (Jardiance; Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly) lowers the risk of CV death/hospitalization for heart failure in patients ...

Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), lower versus higher ranges of EF signal fundamentally different morphologies and hemodynamic responses, which may have ...

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 ...

Expert physicians consider how the treatment of patients differ when they have HFpEF versus HFrEF. Scott D. Solomon, MD: When we think about the standard care in heart failure, we have to make the ...

Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...
