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, ...
In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronotropic incompetence, indexed left ventricular systolic volume (iLVESV) may predict those who could benefit most from ...
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 ...
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) ...
Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who have chronotropic incompetence, those with lower left ventricular systolic volume might benefit from discontinuing beta ...
"Medical Journeys" is a set of clinical resources reviewed by physicians, meant for the medical team as well as the patients they serve. Each episode of this 12-part journey through a disease state ...
