Systolic heart failure
Which type of heart failure is characterized by a stiff and noncompliant heart muscle, making it difficult for the ventricle to fill?
Diastolic heart failure
What is the formula to calculate the ejection fraction (EF)?
EF = amount of blood present at the end of diastole - amount of blood present in the left ventricle at the end of systole
If a patient has normal ejection fraction (EF) in diastolic heart failure, what does it indicate?
The patient does not have heart failure
What is the normal range for ejection fraction (EF)?
55% to 65%
