Is your heart functioning properly? There is a test which can measure this, which is often recommended by medical ...

Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal ejection fraction is between 55% to 70%. A low ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Ejection fraction (EF) ...

"These findings suggest that small variations in the amount of fluid given to a patient with sepsis, or the decision to give less fluid to a patient because they have heart failure, may not have a ...

Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), lower versus higher ranges of EF signal fundamentally different morphologies and hemodynamic responses, which may have ...

Sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto) became the first drug to get a broad heart failure indication that reaches into the normal ejection fraction range for prevention of cardiovascular death and ...

Jim Januzzi, MD, outlines a multitude of drug treatment options for heart failure revolving around patient ejection fraction (EF) status. Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA: As we start to transition ...

Expert physicians consider how the treatment of patients differ when they have HFpEF versus HFrEF. Scott D. Solomon, MD: When we think about the standard care in heart failure, we have to make the ...
