Short-term effects of sinus rhythm restoration in patients with lone atrial fibrillation: a hormonal study.

abstract：AIMS:Heart failure (HF) patients with a mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) are not well characterized. Accordingly, we examined the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical outcomes of HF patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40-50%. METHODS AND RESULTS:We identified 168 patients with an LVE...
