Background: Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is not a sensitive marker of LV
systolic function in a subset of patients with preserved EF. The relation between LV pump …

Background—Patients with recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remain at risk
for future deterioration of LVEF. However, there are no tools to risk stratify these patients. We …

Background Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) has emerged as a more
sensitive index than LV ejection fraction (LVEF) for detecting subclinical LV dysfunction. We …

Background Acute heart failure in the setting of preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection
fraction (HFpEF) remains a challenge. While HFpEF suggests normal contractile function …

Aims Heart failure patients with reduced and preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction
(EF) show reduced exercise capacity. We explored the relationship between exercise …

Objective Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), an increasing public health
concern, is increasing in prevalence and is associated with an elevated risk of …

Background Exercise capacity variables such as peak oxygen uptake (peakVO2) provide
robust prognostic information in heart failure patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) …

Aims While abnormal resting LV GLS has been described in patients with chronic heart
failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), its prognostic significance when measured …

Aims Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are at high risk for
hospitalization and mortality and many of these patients experience a deterioration in left …

Purpose: The mechanism of reduced exercise capacity in Heart Failure with preserved left
ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) is not well defined. We investigated if the reduced …
