Utility of Left Atrial Expansion Index and Stroke Volume in Management of Chronic Systolic Heart Failure

Utility of Left Atrial Expansion Index and Stroke Volume in Management of Chronic Systolic Heart Failure

Titration of evidence-based medications, important for treating heart failure (HF), is often underdosed by symptom-guided treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate, using echocardiographic parameters, stroke volume and left ventricular (LV) filling pressure to guide up-titration of medicat...

Zusammenfassung:Titration of evidence-based medications, important for treating heart failure (HF), is often underdosed by symptom-guided treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate, using echocardiographic parameters, stroke volume and left ventricular (LV) filling pressure to guide up-titration of medications, increasing prognostic benefits. A total of 765 patients with chronic HF and severely reduced LV ejection fractions (
