Outcomes in patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction after heart transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Low left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) after heart transplantation (HT) is considered an ominous sign. We reviewed our database in order to determine outcomes in patients with low EF after HT and to identify a subset of patients who would benefit from immediate retransplantation. METHODS We identified 825 patients who underwent HT at our institution between December 1983 and J...
متن کاملPrognosis in patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction after myocardial infarction. Importance of exercise capacity.
The measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) plays a key role in many strategies for managing patients after acute myocardial infarction. We tested the hypothesis that exercise capacity 1 month after myocardial infarction provides additional information in patients with a low LVEF and therefore assists in risk stratification. One hundred fifteen patients, with documented myocard...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation and Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Versus Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are 2 of the most common cardiovascular conditions nationally and AF frequently complicates HF. We examined how AF has impacts on adverse outcomes in HF-PEF versus HF-REF within a large, contemporary cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified all adults diagnosed with HF-PEF or HF-REF based on hospital discharge and ambulatory visit di...
متن کاملHeart Failure with Preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND The prevalence and clinical outcomes of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction after acute myocardial infarction have not been well elucidated. OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction in acute myocardial infarction and its association with mortality. METHODS Patients with acute myocardial infa...
متن کاملManagement of asymptomatic patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling and reduced ejection fraction (EF) should be distinguished from the syndrome of clinical heart failure (HF). When LVEF is reduced (!40%), but there are no signs and symptoms of HF, the condition frequently is referred to as asymptomatic LV dysfunction (ALVD). It is important to distinguish between ALVD and patients categorized as New York Heart Association (NYHA...
