Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome affecting around 70 million individuals globally. It has a prevalence of 2% in ...

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 ...

September 14, 2009 (Boston, Massachusetts) — Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can improve symptom status and shrink ventricular volumes in patients with LV ejection fractions higher than the 35 ...

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 ...

Home telemonitoring is equally effective in ICD and CRT-D patients, a trial has shown. The study's conclusion: "The take home message for clinicians is that if you have a patient with advanced heart ...

Mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonists improve the prognosis for patients with heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. We evaluated the effects of spironolactone in patients ...

Chronic heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific disease, and occurs as a final common pathway in multiple disease states. The pathophysiology of chronic heart failure (HF) exists when either the ...

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are prevalent in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and are characterized by a high symptom burden. No approved therapies specifically target ...

Given the substantial economic burden of heart failure (HF), particularly HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), understanding its underlying neurohormonal mechanisms is critical toward ...

The efficacy of catheter ablation for heart failure (HF) patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) hinged on the phenotype of disease, researchers reported based on a meta-analysis. Compared with ...
