A Contemporary Systematic Approach to Assessing the Patient with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction: Multimodal Noninvasive and Invasive Evaluation

<div>Transthoracic echocardiogram for cardiac size and function. (a) Parasternal long-axis view demonstrating severe dilatation (end-diastolic diameter of 64 mm) with normal anterior septal and inferior lateral wall thickness (9 and 12 mm, respectively). (b) Similar view demonstrating increased end-systolic dimension (57 mm) consistent with reduced ejection fraction.</div>
