AIM: We investigated the prognostic value of preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients who showed normal left ventricular function on preoperative echocardiography.
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) constitutes an important physiological parameter for the assessment of cardiac function, particularly in the settings of coronary artery disease and heart failure. This study explores the use of routinely and...

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) can cause a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that resolves rapidly upon restoration of sinus rhythm. We used artificial intelligence to understand (1) how often transient LVEF reduction durin...
