Several studies have shown that heart failure (HF) drug treatment seems to benefit patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) up to 55-60% but not with higher LVEF. Certain HF drugs are now indicated in patients with HFpEF and a LVEF below normal. However, not much is known about patients with a normal LVEF. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence, clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with HF and a normal LVEF.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that heart failure (HF) drug treatment seems to benefit patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) up to 55-60% but not with higher LVEF. Certain HF drugs are now indicated in patients with HFpEF and a LVEF below normal. However, not much is known about patients with a normal LVEF. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence, clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with HF and a normal LVEF.File in questo prodotto:
