A normal echocardiogram doesn't always mean a healthy heart. Persistent symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue can indicate ...

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 ...

Q: I was recently diagnosed with mild heart failure. But my echocardiogram showed a normal ejection fraction. Why would I still have heart failure? A: Heart failure conjures up the image of your heart ...

Elevated baseline LDH levels predict worse clinical outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and modestly ...

The Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology (HFA of the ESC), and the Japanese Heart Failure Society (JHFS) announced today a new ...

An international team of researchers has discovered a natural mechanism that protects the heart from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a serious condition in need of effective ...

BOSTON -- Early cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) benefited patients with moderately reduced ejection fraction (EF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) but no indication for pacing, according to ...

The therapeutic efficacy of the cardiac glycoside digitoxin in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction is not established. In this international, double-blind, placebo-controlled ...

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 ...

Obesity increases the risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Tirzepatide, a long-acting agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, ...
