Estimating very low ejection fraction from the 12 Lead ECG among patients with acute heart failure.

Background: Identifying patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the emergency department using an electrocardiogram (ECG) may optimize acute heart failure (AHF) management. We aimed to assess the efficacy of 527 automated 12‑lead ECG features for estimating LVEF among patients with AHF.

Method: Medical records of patients >18 years old and AHF-related ICD codes, demographics, LVEF %, comorbidities, and medication were analyzed.

Polycystic ovary syndrome: A review of diagnosis and management, with special focus on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease prevention.
