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 ...

Objective: To provide an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), as well as its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical evidence regarding its pharmacologic management.

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 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 ...

Jim Januzzi, MD, outlines a multitude of drug treatment options for heart failure revolving around patient ejection fraction (EF) status. Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA: As we start to transition ...

Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether biventricular pacing is ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition in which the heart does not fill with blood properly. In HFpEF, the heart can pump normally, but the heart is stiff and cannot ...

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 ...
