Study Notes

Heart Failure

Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms resulting from abnormalities in cardiac structure or function.
Heart failure can be caused by abnormalities in systolic function, diastolic function, or both.
Heart failure with reduced systolic function, characterized by a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), is referred to as Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF).
Diastolic dysfunction with normal LVEF is termed Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).
