Abstract excerpt
Ejection fraction (EF) is often used as a criterion to establish diagnostic phenotypes of heart failure (HF). Because EF is a derived metric based on end-systolic volume (ESV) and end-diastolic volume (EDV), it is more logical to consider ESV or EDV as cut-off marker. We concentrate on the impact of ESV, which has the advantage of being linearly related to EDV and nonlinearly with EF, both with highly significant...
