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 ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Heart failure in which left ventricular ejection fraction recovers into the normal range has many unknowns. Andrew Perry, MD, discusses key management strategies with Jane Wilcox, MD, of Northwestern ...

LONDON — The benefit of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) for the treatment of patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction has finally been established in ...

An overview of the PARAGON-HF trial with special consideration to the rationale behind the design, the cardiovascular end points, and the safety profile. John McMurray, MBChB: The most recent attempt ...

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 ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is increasing in prevalence and is associated with a high symptom burden and functional impairment, especially in persons with obesity. No therapies have ...
