Background: Differences in border zone contribute to different outcomes post-infarction, such as left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and myocardial infarction (MI). LVA usually forms within 24 h of the ...

Ejection fraction (EF) measures how well the heart pumps blood. A normal EF is 55% to 70%, meaning the heart pumps out at least half of the blood in its left ventricle with each beat. An EF below 50% ...

Heightened interest in left ventricular thrombus (LVT) stems from the consistent association of subsequent stroke and systemic embolism after LVT, and many aspects of its management still exist in a ...
