Chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is a clinical syndrome of dysp nea, exercise intolerance and/or edema resulting from an impairment of ejec tion of blood, usually documented by a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less on echocardiography.1,2 Cor on ary artery disease is a major cause; therefore, stress testing or, in the pres ence of angina, coronary angiography shoul...
متن کاملLeft ventricular ejection fraction test rates for Medicare beneficiaries with heart failure.
The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) test rate is increasingly used as a quality of care indicator for patients with heart failure. Our study produced benchmark LVEF test rates in a Medicare fee-for-service population for consideration by a clinical panel assembled by the Health Care Financing Administration. Our sample consisted of 46,583 beneficiaries admitted to the hospital for hea...
متن کاملNew biomarker in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
eart failure is a serious condition because of the structural and/or functional cardiac disorders,1–3 in which not only heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) but also heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are substantially involved.4,5 Because of the poor prognosis of patients, especially those with HFrEF,6 various therapeutic options have been developed during t...
متن کاملHeart Failure With Preserved, Mid-Range, and Reduced Ejection Fraction
T he European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently published new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic heart failure (HF). 1 The new nomenclature includes separating patients with HF into 3 distinct groups depending on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): preserved LVEF (≥50%), mid-range LVEF (40–49%), and reduced LVEF (≤40%). Although there have been several...
متن کاملCosts for heart failure with normal vs reduced ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Among the elderly population, heart failure (HF) with normal ejection fraction (EF) is more common than classic HF with low EF. However, there are few data regarding the costs of HF with normal EF. In a prospective, population-based cohort of elderly participants, we compared the costs and resource use of patients with HF and normal and reduced EF. METHODS A total of 4549 participa...
