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 …

The measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a ubiquitous component of
imaging studies used to evaluate patients with cardiac conditions and acts as an arbiter for …

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most commonly used instrumental parameter
to evaluate patients with heart failure (HF). The major strength of LVEF is that it is a …

Diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and development of new therapies for diseases or
syndromes depend on a reliable means of identifying phenotypes associated with distinct …

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 …

Heart failure is a multifaceted syndrome addressing for a high rate of death among the
general population. The common approach to this disease has been always based on the …

Ventricular remodeling, first described in animal models of left ventricular (LV) stress and
injury, occurs progressively in untreated patients after large myocardial infarction and in …

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

By definition, patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction are characterized by
a normal or near-normal left ventricular ejection fraction, but marked heterogeneity in the …

In response to injury, hemodynamic changes, or neurohormonal activation, the heart
undergoes a series of structural and functional changes that have been termed cardiac …
