Heart failure sounds alarming—and rightfully so. Yet approximately 6.5 million Americans currently live with this condition, many with the specific variant called systolic heart failure, and a ...

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"), ...

Living with a heart that struggles to pump effectively creates daily challenges for millions of Americans. Systolic heart failure fundamentally changes how patients experience everyday activities.

Background Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) exhibits significant anatomical and clinical heterogeneity, warranting a systematic ...

Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic ...

Through a deep-learning model, researchers have shown that ordinary ECG images can be leveraged to identify patients with an LV ejection fraction below 40%. Their approach also appears able to ...

Each month, The Clinical Advisor makes one new clinical feature available ahead of print. Don’t forget to take the poll. The results will be published in the next month’s issue. The American Heart ...

In patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction on optimal medical therapy for HF, undergoing PCI did not improve rates of all-cause death or HF hospitalization, according to the results ...

The heart is a muscle like no other, beating 60 to 100 times per minute on average, around the clock. But when it grows weak, it can lead to serious problems: from debilitating shortness of breath and ...

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 ...
