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 ...

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 ...

The role of ACE inhibitors in the management of HFPEF is less significant compared with their role in the management of heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. For patients with ...

Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA: Dr Anderson, I’d like to start with you. We’ve talked about guideline recommendations. Can you briefly discuss some of the real-world differences in the treatment ...

Panelists discuss how ARNIs like sacubitril-valsartan provide superior outcomes compared with ACE inhibitors in HFrEF (20% reduction in cardiovascular events, 16% mortality reduction), with broad FDA ...

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 ...

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with impaired first-phase ejection fraction were nearly 5 times more likely to die compared to patients with healthier measures of this early, often undetected sign of ...
