Aims Echocardiography has shown to categorize heart failure (HF) patients according to
haemodynamic profiles. Whether left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) …

Background: Although in clinical practice heart failure (HF) patients are classified using left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), this categorization is insufficient for prognosis, especially …

For decades, echocardiography has proved to be a well-established noninvasive imaging
modality for bedside assessment of global left ventricular (LV) function in patients with heart …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of a comprehensive imaging
protocol including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis and …

Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent clinical syndrome characterized by considerable
phenotypic heterogeneity. The traditional classification based on left ventricular ejection …

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 …

Background and Aim Dividing patients with heart failure (HF) based solely on ejection
fraction (EF) may over simplify the hemodynamic states of these patients. We describe a …

Background Heart failure (HF) involves dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) as well as left
atrium and right ventricle. We characterized mechanical phenotypes of HF using 3‐chamber …

Traditionally, congestive heart failure (HF) was phenotyped by echocardiography or other
imaging techniques according to left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF). The more …

Background Ejection fraction (EF) is still widely used to categorize heart failure (HF) patients
but has limitations. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) has emerged as a new prognosticator in …
