Noninvasive estimation of LV filling pressures in heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: revisited and verified.
l i p D b p d a s m m a d c s w n fi t w c m a a t p o i e t m p c i n g Echocardiography plays a key role in the evaluation of patients presenting with congestive heart failure (CHF). This includes diagnosis, prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions. Aside from the important measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF), Doppler can be successfully applied to asses...
متن کاملChronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is a clinical syndrome of dysp nea, exercise intolerance and/or edema resulting from an impairment of ejec tion of blood, usually documented by a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less on echocardiography.1,2 Cor on ary artery disease is a major cause; therefore, stress testing or, in the pres ence of angina, coronary angiography shoul...
متن کاملSubclinical LV Dysfunction Detection Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Hypertensive Patients with Preserved LV Ejection Fraction
BACKGROUND Early detection of subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in hypertensive patients is important for the prevention of progression of hypertensive heart disease. METHODS We studied 60 hypertensive patients (age ranged from 21 to 49 years, the duration of hypertension ranged from 1 to 18 years) and 30 healthy controls, all had preserved left ventricular ejection fract...
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 کاملCosts for heart failure with normal vs reduced ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Among the elderly population, heart failure (HF) with normal ejection fraction (EF) is more common than classic HF with low EF. However, there are few data regarding the costs of HF with normal EF. In a prospective, population-based cohort of elderly participants, we compared the costs and resource use of patients with HF and normal and reduced EF. METHODS A total of 4549 participa...
