Because life expectancy and the prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes are rising globally, heart failure (HF) is growing into a major health problem. Impairment of left ...

A novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm shows promise for estimating left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) using routinely obtained left coronary artery angiogram videos, a new study ...

Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of mortality in patients with DMD. Compared with their healthy counterparts, patients with DMD — including those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Right ventricular systolic function evaluated through VO2 max is a more accurate measure of functional capacity of persons with heart failure compared with left ventricular systolic function. This ...
