  Background: In a previous meta-analysis ejection fraction (EF) was greater in heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) patients than it was in healthy controls (HC). In this study differences between indices of end-systolic and diastolic volumes (ESVi and EDVi) in HFPEF compared to HC were studied, in search for an explanation for the difference in EF. In addition, it was hypothesized that changes in ESVi and EDVi may provide understanding of the process of left ventricular remodeling. Methods: Literature was searched for studies reporting ejection fraction (EF), EDVi and ESVi. Pooled differences were estimated with weighted and standardized mean differences. The normalized mean difference of X, , where X=EDVi .. View More»
