Left ventricular ejection fraction and long-term outcomes in women presenting with signs and symptoms of ischaemia

Left ventricular ejection fraction and long-term outcomes in women presenting with signs and symptoms of ischaemia

BackgroundAlthough women are known to have a relatively higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) compared with men, a sex-neutral LVEF threshold continues to be used for clinical management. We sought to investigate the relationship among high (>65%), normal (55%–65%) and low (
