Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is a simple measure of global systolic function
that pervades the risk evaluation and management of many cardiovascular diseases …

Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a robust, well validated and reproducible
technique for the measurement of LV longitudinal deformation. We sought to assemble …

Background: Heart failure (HF) is currently classified according to left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF); however, the prognostic value of LVEF is controversial. Myocardial strain is …

Aims Using a large international database from multiple cohort studies, the aim is to create a
generalizable easily used risk score for mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). Methods …

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been the central parameter used for diagnosis
and management in patients with heart failure. A good predictor of adverse outcomes in …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and prognostic impacts of
noncardiac comorbidities in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved 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 We investigated the relationship between clinically assessed left ventricular ejection
fraction (LVEF) and survival in a large, heterogeneous clinical cohort. Methods and results …

Background The prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction may be
changing as a result of changes in population demographics and in the prevalence and …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of global
longitudinal strain (GLS) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients in …
