The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; OR 0.920, 95% CI 0.882–0.959, p < 0.001) was significantly different between the S D + SV 4 criterion and the gold standard for LVH after adjusting for hypertension, PSVT history, body surface area, interventricular septum...

... recently been found to be associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This may relate to coexisting coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim: This study prospectively assessed a potential ABI–LVEF association in patients without CAD. Methods and Results: We studied 55 patients (age 57 ± 13...

... finished a ∼3.0 year follow-up. Compared with those without MACE, subjects with MACE were more likely to have anterior MI (73.08 vs. 38.18%, p = 0.003), significantly decreased 2D left ventricular ejection fraction (2DLVEF) and 4DLVEF (all p < 0.05), as well as an overtly compromised 4D strain...

Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) over time. Results: The sequential change in the mean LVEF showed no significant differences with initial, 1-, 2...
