"Medical Journeys" chart a path each step of the way for ... groups based on readily available left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measurements. It became clear that ejection fraction ...

Several epidemiological studies confirm that the prevalence of heart failure with normal ejection fraction is increasing. Given the current trends, heart failure with normal ejection fraction will ...

This is particularly the case in patients with obesity, who often have significantly lower BNP levels than their nonobese counterparts. In the patient with dyspnea who has an LV ejection fraction ...

for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). The LEVEL study will evaluate six-minute walking distance (6MWD) as the primary endpoint ...

an ejection fraction of 40% or less, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II, III, or IV symptoms. Patients were required to have a plasma level of N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic ...

Heart failure is typically split between patients with reduced ejection fraction, a condition known as HFrEF, and those with preserved levels, with a complete diagnosis typically requiring a ...

Overall, the rate of serious adverse events was similar across the groups, but rates of hyperkalemia - elevated levels of potassium ... regardless of the ejection fraction and even in patients ...

This analysis was performed concurrently in the overall population and in patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 60%, with an alpha level of 0.024 used in the former ...
