Decreased ejection fraction in acute heart failure leads to more acute kidney damage compared to patients with preserved ejection fraction. Also, heart failure with a drop in the ejection fraction of the left ventricle is not a dominant characteristic of patients with cardiorenal syndrome type 2… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
