Left ventricular ejection fraction and long-term outcomes in women presenting with signs and symptoms of ischaemia

Conclusion
Among women with suspected ischaemia, women with LVEF above the defined normal threshold (>65%) had lower rates of all-cause mortality and non-fatal MI. Further investigation is needed to determine the optimal LVEF in women.
