Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction

Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction is a cardiovascular condition characterized by objective impairment in left ventricular contractile performance or structural remodeling—most commonly defined as a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or lower—without overt clinical symptoms of heart failure such as dyspnea, fatigue, or fluid retention Classified clinically as Stage B heart failure, it primarily affects individuals with underlying ischemic heart disease, prior myocardial inf...

Classified clinically as Stage B heart failure, it primarily affects individuals with underlying ischemic heart disease, prior myocardial infarction, long-standing hypertension, or cardiomyopathy Pathophysiologically, the condition involves progressive ventricular enlargement, neurohormonal activation, and adverse cardiac remodeling that place patients at significant risk for progression to symptomatic heart failure and premature cardiovascular mortality
