The Graham-Steell murmur remained a universally accepted ... a loud and palpable mitral 1st sound, and an early systolic ejection click at the left sternal border. The pulmonic 2nd sound was ...

It has been recognized that 5-year survival from the onset of either syncope, angina, or congestive heart failure is about 50% and the majority of untreated patients die within 8 years ...

Aortic stenosis is a disease often diagnosed in its asymptomatic phase due to its distinct murmur and the widespread ... Although an ejection click is common with a bicuspid aortic valve, it ...

On auscultation, a grade 2/6 systolic murmur was present at the base. There was mild, diffuse abdominal tenderness and 2+ edema in both legs, with mildly diminished pulses that were symmetric.

Isolated ASDs may be asymptomatic before early adulthood, and are often detected incidentally in aircrew at their PME, with an abnormal ECG or an ejection systolic murmur. Unless closed early in ...

No murmurs were heard in each valve auscultation area ... was 53 mm; the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 62%, and the systolic pressure of the pulmonary artery was approximately 33 mmHg.

BACKGROUND: Despite the high morbidity and mortality of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), treatment ...

A normal ejection fraction ranges from 55% to 70%. In systolic heart failure, that number often drops below 40%, indicating significantly reduced pumping capacity. Beyond traditional imaging ...

Inter-atrial shunt device therapy has shown mixed results in clinical trials, with clinical 'non-responders' typically showing features of more advanced heart failure. We aimed to analyse the ...

Does finerenone improve outcomes in patients withheart failure (HF) with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction?

In systolic heart failure, this pumping capacity becomes compromised. Medical professionals measure this pumping efficiency through a metric called ejection fraction—the percentage of blood your ...

AI-assisted diagnosis of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction may detect disease early and thereby expedite treatment of ...
