  2. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

    Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...

  3. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

    The overall rate of survival among those who have OHCA is 10%. [ 136 ] [ 137 ] Among those who have an OHCA, 70% occur at home, and their survival rate is 6%. [ 138 ] [ 139 ] For those who have an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), the survival rate one year from at least the occurrence of cardiac arrest is estimated to be 13%. [ 140 ]

  4. Heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

    Heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), previously called "heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction", [63] is defined by an ejection fraction of 41–49%. [ 63 ] Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF): Synonyms no longer recommended include "diastolic heart failure" and "heart failure with normal ...

  5. Mitral valve prolapse - Wikipedia

    However, MVP patients with a murmur, not just an isolated click, have an increased mortality rate of 15-20%. [62] The major predictors of mortality are the severity of mitral regurgitation and reduction in ejection fraction .

  6. Survival function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_function

    For survival function 2, the probability of surviving longer than t = 2 months is 0.97. That is, 97% of subjects survive more than 2 months. Survival function 2. Median survival may be determined from the survival function: The median survival is the point where the survival function intersects the value 0.5. [4]

  7. List of human disease case fatality rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_disease_case...

    Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.

  8. List of causes of death by rate - Wikipedia

    In 2016, the WHO recorded 56.7 million deaths [3] with the leading cause of death as cardiovascular disease causing more than 17 million deaths (about 31% of the total) as shown in the chart to the side. In 2021, there were approx. 68 million deaths worldwide, as per WHO report.

  9. Hazard ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_ratio

    Kaplan-Meier curve illustrating overall survival based on volume of brain metastases.Elaimy et al. (2011) [6] In its simplest form, the hazard ratio can be interpreted as the chance of an event occurring in the treatment arm divided by the chance of the event occurring in the control arm, or vice versa, of a study.
