Methods and material: The present study retrospectively analyzed the data of the operated pediatric patients by reviewing the charts of patients admitted to the pediatric division of the cardiac ...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) represents a compelling cause of hospital morbidity and mortality in Brazil. There is low adherence to guideline-directed medical ...

Nearly half of patients with symptoms of heart failure are found to have a normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. This has variously been labelled as diastolic heart failure, heart failure ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for around half of all cases of heart failure and may become the dominant type of heart failure in the near future. Unlike HF with ...

In patients with heart failure (HF) with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF), pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common, is a marker of poor prognosis and may represent a therapeutic ...
