An ejection fraction >35% is unconventional to be considered "preserved," so the results ... PEP-CHF = perindopril in elderly people with chronic heart failure; QoL = quality of life.

There’s no “silver bullet” for this problem, which is largely driven by clinical inertia, but some efforts are chipping away ...

Cardiovascular disease, sometimes abbreviated as CVD, is the leading cause of death worldwide. It’s a catchall term for heart ...

Poor contraction causes the heart to not pump with enough force for blood to circulate properly. Systolic heart failure happens when the heart pumps at 40% or less of its ejection fraction.

Although finerenone has kidney protective effects in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, it does not appear to slow kidney function decline in patients with heart failure with ...

specifically pulmonary hypertension secondary to left heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (“PH-HFpEF”). In patients with PH-HFpEF, chronic heart failure leads to increased blood pressure in ...

Noninvasive liver fibrosis scores are associated with increased heart failure risk, with FIB-4, NFS, and APRI showing ...

Later in life it can show up as an often fatal condition known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Ussher is devoting his research career to finding treatments for this hidden disease.

EF = ejection fraction; HF = heart failure; HR = hazard ratio; I-PRESERVE = irbesartan in heart failure with preserved systolic function; LV = left ventricular; MI = myocardial infarction ...
