Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) of 55% as Cutoff for Late Transition From Heart Failure (HF) With Preserved EF to HF With Mildly Reduced EF.
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) with preserved (HFpEF) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a syndrome with complex pathophysiology. Little is known about changes in LVEF that occur over time in HFpEF patients. A fundamental clinical question about HFpEF is whether HFpEF is an early manifestation of HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF). If so, which patients with HFpEF are likely to show a declin...
متن کاملrenin-angiotensin system antagonists might reduce mortality in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction For heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-
For heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), there is yetno evidence available of therapies reducing mortality. Three randomized clinical trials (RCTs), CHARM preserved, PEP-CHF and I-Preserve, investigated the role of renin-angiotensin system antagonists (RASA) -angiotensin II receptor blockers (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) in this settingand failed to show...
متن کاملPresence of ´isolated´ tricuspid regurgitation should prompt the suspicion of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle is common but frequently under-diagnosed. Particularly in advanced stages affected patients may present with significant functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) as the most prominent sign on echocardiography. The underlying left ventricular pathology may eventually be missed and symptoms of heart failure are attributed to TR, with respectiv...
متن کاملHeart Failure With Preserved, Mid-Range, and Reduced Ejection Fraction
T he European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently published new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure (HF). 1 The new nomenclature includes separating patients with HF into 3 distinct groups depending on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): preserved LVEF (≥50%), mid-range LVEF (40–49%), and reduced LVEF (≤40%). Although there have been several...
متن کاملSecondary Mitral Regurgitation in Heart Failure with Reduced or Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) has been extensively studied in heart failure due to reduced ejection fraction. In contrast, the occurrence and the pathogenesis of secondary MR are much less known in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The present review aimed at describing this common but ignored feature of HFpEF. Copyright © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel As in patients with...
