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

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 …

In clinical practice heart failure (HF) patients are generally classified on the basis of left
ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. This approach, however, has important limitations …

Aim Echo‐derived haemodynamic classification, based on forward‐flow and left ventricular
(LV) filling pressure (LVFP) correlates, has been proposed to phenotype patients with heart …

Heart failure (HF) is a progressive condition with a clinical picture resulting from reduced
cardiac output (CO) and/or elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures (LVFP). The original …

Background Left ventricular (LV) output is a predictor of adverse outcome in patients with
heart failure. It can be evaluated using a per-beat approach, measuring stroke volume index …

The benefit of repeat assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in
heart failure (HF) remains uncertain. We assessed the prognostic value of repeat …

Background Pressure/volume (P/V) loops provide useful information on left ventricular
performance and prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) but do not lend themselves to …

Aims Heart failure (HF) has a poor prognosis. Several right ventricular (RV)
echocardiographic parameters have been proposed as sensitive markers to detect patients …

Aims Elevated left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) is a powerful indicator of worsening
clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); however …
