Before understanding how the ejection fraction is linked to the heart, let us tell you what it is. “Ejection Fraction or EF is a key measure of how well the heart is pumping blood to the body. It ...

Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal ejection fraction is between 55% to 70%. A low ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Ejection fraction (EF) ...

Heart failure is a heterogeneous syndrome. Approximately 30–50% of patients with heart failure have normal or near normal left ventricle function. Several epidemiological studies confirm that the ...

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 ...

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.

Cystatin C (CysC) is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF) across the ejection ...

Is your heart functioning properly? There is a test which can measure this, which is often recommended by medical professionals. Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement, expressed as a percentage, of ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...
