Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Population-based studies report that the majority of elderly patients with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction (HF-NEF) and a history of hypertension. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, ...

Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, long-term treatment with the medication spironolactone improved left ventricular diastolic function but did not affect maximal ...

Hypertension is believed to be the single greatest factor influencing the development of heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, also known as diastolic heart ...

Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal ejection fraction is between 55% to 70%. A low ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Ejection fraction (EF) ...

Expert physicians consider how the treatment of patients differ when they have HFpEF versus HFrEF. Scott D. Solomon, MD: When we think about the standard care in heart failure, we have to make the ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...
