This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

・MRI results highlighted that patients with baseline cardiomyopathy saw a 3.3 percentage-point improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction. ・Capricor has already submitted a BLA for Deramiocel ...

Respiratory sarcopenia, defined by low diaphragm thickness and reduced FVC, is associated with increased 2-year mortality in HF.

Current guideline recommendations for the use of beta-blockers after myocardial infarction without reduced ejection fraction are based on trials conducted before routine reperfusion, invasive care, ...

CHICAGO, IL—An unconventional approach to combat left ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction appears to improve heart function and patient symptoms, although investigators caution it’s ...

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) ...
