Sentences with phrase «ventricle ejection fraction»

The standard test for risk assessment in relation to life - threatening cardiac rhythm disturbances is currently the left ventricular ejection fraction, which represents a measure of the heart's function and measures the volume of the beat in relation to the overall volume of blood in the ventricle.

Iron deficiency is present in approximately 50 percent of patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF; ejection fraction: a measure of how well the left ventricle of the heart pumps with each contraction) and is associated with reduced functional capacity, poorer quality of life, and increased mortality.

Although the primary endpoint was not met, a statistically significant 4 percent improvement was seen in a secondary endpoint, left ventricular ejection fraction — a measure of how much blood is being pumped out of the left ventricle — in patients whose STEMIs involved the front wall of the left ventricle (the heart's main pumping chamber), he said.

Whereas left ventricular ejection fraction and ventricle size were not measurably affected by ADF, the observed changes suggest caution in the human application of regimens using frequent fasting (51).

The ejection fraction measures how efficiently the left ventricle pumps the blood.
