Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review examines the implications of supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction (snLVEF) in heart failure and its relationship with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
  • The review included various imaging techniques to analyze studies that connect snLVEF with cardiovascular outcomes, discovering a heightened risk of MACE, especially in women.
  • Despite some conflicting evidence, it suggests that snLVEF (>65%) correlates with increased MACE risk, highlighting the need for personalized risk management strategies in heart failure patients.
