Ejection fraction (EF) measures the amount of blood pumped out of your heart's lower chambers, or ventricles. It's the percentage of blood that leaves your ventricle when your heart contracts. The ...
NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — The significant clinical gains in patients who took valsartan-sacubitril (LCZ696, Entresto; Novartis) instead of enalapril in the published PARADIGM-HF trial seemed to be ...
The combined benefits of a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), and a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in patients with ...
The clinical benefits of semaglutide (Wegovy; Novo Nordisk) in patients with the obesity phenotype of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) don’t appear to be influenced by left ...
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 ...
Dapagliflozin significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death or worsening of heart failure (HF) in patients with HF and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), according to ...
Jim Januzzi, MD, outlines a multitude of drug treatment options for heart failure revolving around patient ejection fraction (EF) status. Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA: As we start to transition ...
Heart failure in which left ventricular ejection fraction recovers into the normal range has many unknowns. Andrew Perry, MD, discusses key management strategies with Jane Wilcox, MD, of Northwestern ...
