Atrial 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 کاملChanges in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Predict Survival and Hospitalization in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular remodeling, as commonly measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), is associated with clinical outcomes. Although change in LVEF over time should reflect response to therapy and clinical course, serial measurement of LVEF is inconsistently performed in observational settings, and the incremental prognostic value of change in LVEF has not been well charact...
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 کاملEffects of exercise on left ventricular systolic and diastolic properties in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction versus heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to define exercise-induced changes in indices of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic properties in patients with chronic heart failure (HF), compare these changes in patients with HF and a reduced ejection fraction (EF) versus HF and a preserved EF, and compare the hemodynamic responses to activities of daily living with symptom-limited u...
متن کاملCardiac steatosis and left ventricular remodeling in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction
Methods 25 HFrEF due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 18 HFpEF (defined by EF >50%, abnormal diastolic function, maximum oxygen consumption <80% predicted for age, height and gender, with a cardiac limitation in exercise) and 28 normal volunteers were prospectively recruited. All subjects underwent cardiovascular magnetic (MR) resonance at 3T for the determination of left ventricular (LV) volum...
