Clinical trials of therapies for heart failure (HF) are usually performed in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The ...

Focused cardiac ultrasonography is a point-of-care, qualitative or semiquantitative means of assessing cardiac size, structure, and function that is performed and interpreted by the clinician at the ...

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 ...
