Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic importance of left ventricular
ejection fraction (LVEF) in stable outpatients with heart failure (HF). Background: Although …

Aims Heart failure (HF) with normal or preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction
(HFPEF) has been reported to be associated with similar outcome as HF with reduced EF …

Background—Left ventricular function is a principal determinant of cardiovascular risk in
patients with heart failure. The growing number of patients with preserved systolic function …

Aim Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is associated with significant morbidity and
mortality but the relationship between LVEF and outcomes is unclear. We explored the …

Background: Patients with congestive heart failure have an annual mortality of 10% to 20%
depending on disease severity. Though one third of these patients have normal left …

Background—Left ventricular remodeling, as commonly measured by left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF), is associated with clinical outcomes. Although change in LVEF over time …

Background—The contributions of risk factors and disease pathogenesis to heart failure with
preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) versus heart failure with reduced ejection fraction …

Aims A substantial proportion of patients with heart failure have preserved left ventricular
ejection fraction (HF-PEF). Previous studies have reported mixed results whether survival is …

Aims Heart failure (HF) patients with a mid‐range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) are not well
characterized. Accordingly, we examined the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical …

Objectives: We evaluated the six-month clinical trajectory of patients hospitalized for heart
failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (EF), as the natural history of this condition has …
