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 ...

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction, but their effects in patients with heart ...

BARCELONA, Spain—Two in five patients with heart failure (HF) have high inflammatory risk, with a similar prevalence across the spectrum of ejection fraction, according to an international snapshot ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband is 73 and was diagnosed with heart failure and a severely dilated left ventricle. At the time, he was pumping 10 liters per minute. He had a proBNP natriuretic peptide level ...

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) describes a type of heart failure in which the heart loses its ability to contract typically. Because of this, the heart cannot pump with enough ...

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, ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition in which the heart does not fill with blood properly. In HFpEF, the heart can pump normally, but the heart is stiff and cannot ...

In contrast to the advances in therapy for systolic HF over the past three decades, which have improved mortality rates, no therapies have been proven to reduce mortality in patients with HFNEF (Table ...
