An ejection fraction (EF) is the volumetric fraction (or portion of the total) of fluid (usually blood) ejected from a chamber (usually the heart) with...

preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction – the percentage of the volume of blood ejected from the...

Left-sided heart failure may be present with a reduced ejection fraction or with a preserved ejection fraction. Heart failure is not the same as cardiac arrest...

considered as an option for people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with a LVEF <40%. It can be given regardless of current diabetes status...

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, hef-REF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction is reduced. This is defined as...

estimates of heart function, such as a calculation of the cardiac output, ejection fraction, and diastolic function (how well the heart relaxes). Echocardiography...

impairs the heart's ability to eject blood and, therefore, reduces ejection fraction. This reduction in the ejection fraction can manifest itself as heart...

dilated ventricle, normal ejection fraction who are asymptomatic is about 0.2 percent per year. Risk increases if the ejection fraction decreases or if the...

of several heart conditions such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, in addition to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and...

guide appropriate management. Ejection fraction (EF) is a parameter related to SV. EF is the fraction of blood ejected by the left ventricle (LV) during...

angiotensin receptor blocker in people with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Potential side effects include angioedema, nephrotoxicity, and low...

open—which results in separated blood volumes being ejected from the two ventricles. This is the ejection stage of the cardiac cycle; it is depicted (see...

mass ejection, an ejection of material from a Sun's corona Ejection fraction, the fraction of blood pumped with each heart beat Great Ejection, an event...

in obese patients with a common type of heart failure, preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in a Phase 3 trial. Over two years, tirzepatide reduced the...

valves. Mid-systolic ejection murmurs are due to blood flow through the semilunar valves. They occur at the start of blood ejection — which starts after...

is the volume of blood pumped by the ventricles in one minute. The ejection fraction is the volume of blood pumped divided by the total volume of blood...

low ejection fraction. Beta blockers counter this inappropriately high sympathetic activity, eventually leading to an improved ejection fraction, despite...

both of these methods as well as other inexpensive models supporting ejection fraction as a product of the heart/myocardium in systole. The advantage of...

term is now heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). This is common and is often...

product of stroke volume and heart rate, and is also used to calculate ejection fraction, which is stroke volume divided by end-diastolic volume. Because stroke...

patients with NYHA Class II-IV heart failure who have a left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 35%. Spironolactone improves left ventricular diastolic...

accelerated atherosclerosis Heart failure with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (HFNEF), often termed diastolic heart failure Atrial fibrillation...

efficacious for treatment of congestive heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Ivabradine binds to HCN4 receptors (potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated...

the stroke volume of the left ventricle is increased (increased ejection fraction); this happens because of more complete emptying of the heart. However...

the anterior chest wall. CRT is indicated in patients with a low ejection fraction (typically <35%) indicating heart failure, where electrical activity...

successful heart restoration—restores ventricular shape, increases ejection fraction, decreases the left ventricular end systolic volume index (LVESVI)...

end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (Ef). Ventricular pressure is a measure of blood pressure within the...

study included patients with a prior myocardial infarction and an ejection fraction less than or equal to 30%. The results were a reduction in mortality...
