It is a common perception that approximately 50% of heart failure (HF) patients present with a normal or near-normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction ("HF with preserved systolic function"), ...

Objective: To provide an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), as well as its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical evidence regarding its pharmacologic management.

An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm trained to interpret single-lead ECGs from the Apple Watch accurately detected signs of subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in a ...

Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...
