Ejection fraction refers to how much blood the heart pumps out during a contraction. An abnormal ejection fraction can be a sign of heart failure. Some people might need treatment to improve their ...

Ejection fraction is a measurement doctors can use to help diagnose heart failure. A normal range is between 52% and 72% for males and between 54% and 74% for females. An ejection fraction that’s ...

End-diastolic volume is the amount of blood that is in the ventricles before the heart contracts. Doctors use end-diastolic volume to estimate the heart’s preload volume and to calculate stroke volume ...

Evidence may support a greater comorbidity burden among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) or reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), although this finding was shown to be ...

My patients’ concerns about heart failure are usually, “What is my prognosis?” “What are the treatments, like medication and surgery, that are available to me?” But some people will ask me for their ...

In a trial, empagliflozin reduced the risks for heart failure hospitalization and renal outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Empagliflozin reduces the risk for heart ...

I am a 50-year-old male. I have an ejection fraction of around 35%. What else does low ejection fraction mean? Is high ejection fraction also a cause of concern? I am very worried. The query is ...
