Could engaging patients in their treatment decisions also, in turn, improve GDMT? The current study and other previous studies 14 have shown that, despite the many other issues to consider, most ...

In 2013, The American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) assigned an ejection fraction (EF) range to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, EF ≤ 40%), heart ...

The 10 pivotal issues in HFrEF management defined by the ACC include the following: The ACC recommended that patients with HFrEF should receive core guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) rapidly ...

April 18, 2024 - Audio-only telehealth effectively supported heart failure with reduced ejection fraction treatment for Native Americans, leading to improved rates of guideline-directed medical ...

Ada Tennison, CAN, coordinator and primary outreach practitioner for the program (left), with Dr Lauren Eberly "There was significant and rapid increase in the uptake of GDMT as patients crossed ...

As noted above, an LVEF of 41-49% is mildly reduced (HFmrEF) whereas patients with an LVEF ≥50% are considered to have preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). These labels apply only to patients who have ...

Objectives Prognostic impact of lung ultrasound-derived B-lines (LUS-BL) in heart failure with mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF) patients remains elusive. We evaluated the ...
