A new review outlines how personalized digital twin heart models built from patient MRI could overcome the limits of ejection ...

Is your heart functioning properly? There is a test which can measure this, which is often recommended by medical professionals. Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement, expressed as a percentage, of ...

The ECG shows sinus rhythm at 84 beats per minute with a left anterior fascicular block. Echocardiography demonstrates mild ...

BACKGROUND: Left atrial (LA) stiffening augments the LA V wave, pressurizing the pulmonary artery (PA) out of proportion to ...

The interest in PDE9 inhibition stems from observations that PDE9 expression is increased in heart failure, particularly in ...

September 14, 2009 (Boston, Massachusetts) — Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can improve symptom status and shrink ventricular volumes in patients with LV ejection fractions higher than the 35 ...

Heart failure is a heterogeneous syndrome. Approximately 30–50% of patients with heart failure have normal or near normal left ventricle function. Several epidemiological studies confirm that the ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a key pathophysiological feature of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction ...

In a population of patients with HF and low ejection, those aged at least 63 years had significantly reduced verbal memory compared with younger patients, new study results indicated. The ...

Weight-loss drugs known as GLP-1s may help protect against heart failure even at doses too low to produce significant weight ...
