In-hospital measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction and one-year outcomes in acute coronary syndromes: results from the IMMEDIATE Trial.
The relationships between reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured during index acute coronary syndrome (ACS) hospitalization and mortality and heart failure (HF) within 1 year are not well-defined. The researchers performed a retrospective analysis of 445 patients who had LVEF measured by left ventriculography or echocardiogram during hospitalization. They found that among patients with ACS, lower in-hospital LVEF is associated with increased 1-year mortality or hospitalization for HF.
