Background Many patients with heart failure (HF) experience changes in left ventricular
ejection fraction (LVEF) during follow‐up. We sought to evaluate the predictors and …

Echocardiographic evaluation of patients with possible heart failure includes a
comprehensive assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, pulmonary …

Introduction The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains
challenging. In this study, a novel echocardiography index based on three-dimensional and …

Hemodynamics play a central role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF), yet their
proper assessment and optimization remains challenging. Heart failure is defined as the …

Background—Doppler echocardiography is currently applied for the assessment of left
ventricular and right ventricular hemodynamics in patients with cardiovascular disease …

Despite advances in biomarkers and technology, the clinical examination (ie, a history and
physical examination) remains central in the management of patients with heart failure …

Purpose: Right ventricular (RV) systolic function as measured by right ventricular ejection
fraction (RVEF) has long been recognized as an important predictor of outcome in heart …

Subjects with heart failure (HF) and a preserved ejection fraction (EF) are heterogenous and
the EF used to define this syndrome varies considerably among studies. We sought to …

Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis of patients with congestive heart
failure (CHF). It determines the cause and readily provides a reliable noninvasive …

Background Although approximately 50% of heart failure patients are reported as heart
failure with preserved left ventricular systolic function (HFPSF), echocardiographic …
