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 ...

Ejection fraction (EF) measures the amount of blood pumped out of your heart's lower chambers, or ventricles. It's the percentage of blood that leaves your ventricle when your heart contracts.

More than 26 million people from around the world have some form of heart failure, and the new trial will focus on patients with reduced ejection fraction: one of the most common forms of heart ...

Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions has discovered a natural mechanism that protects the heart from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a serious ...

Whether SGLT2 inhibitors are effective in patients with a higher left ventricular ejection fraction remains less certain. We randomly assigned 6263 patients with heart failure and a left ...

At ejection fractions of 40-60%, the effect size appeared to be greater with empagliflozin than in the PARAGON-HF trial where sacubitril/valsartan was compared to valsartan. Related Stories ...
