The latest guidelines on the diagnosis and management of heart failure (HF) published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) introduced a new class of HF: HF with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF).1 This was in addition to the previously-defined classes: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), in which the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is below 40%, and HF with preserved…

Heart failure (HF) is a global epidemic which affects about 6 million adults in the US. It is projected that by 2030 the total cost of HF will reach US$70 billion. Despite the development of novel drugs and devices, the mortality burden of HF remains high, with one in three patients dying within 1 year of hospitalisation for HF and 40–50% within 5 years of diagnosis.1
Patients with HF are…

At this stage, the clinical picture is characterised by severe symptoms, frequent episodes of decompensation, poor quality of life and poor survival. Evidence-based medical treatments…

The most common cause of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the industrialised world is coronary heart disease.1 Patients with an ischaemic aetiology of left ventricular systolic dysfunction have significantly higher mortality rates than those with non-ischaemic aetiologies.2 This more aggressive course represents the convergence of ischaemic myocardial fibrosis and…
