Exercise intolerance is a typical symptom of heart failure (HF), impairing patients’ ability to perform activities of daily living and affecting quality of life (QOL).1 Chronic HF is characterised by a progressive reduction in exercise capacity, increasing fatigue and shortness of breath.2 In addition, exercise intolerance is often accompanied by increased blood pressure and chronotropic…

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…

A hallmark symptom of chronic heart failure (CHF) is exercise intolerance associated with early fatigue and/or dyspnoea with a minimal degree of exertion. It is also associated with a decline in capacity to perform activities of daily living and a diminished quality of life (QoL). Both patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) and those with heart failure…

From Acute Heart Failure Towards Worsening or De Novo Heart Failure
The natural history of heart failure (HF) is characterised by disease progression and episodes of worsening HF and acute decompensation requiring outpatient treatment intensification, emergency department or in-hospital care.
Acute HF (AHF), also known as acute decompensated HF, is defined as a progressive and sometimes rapid…

Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome caused by functional and structural abnormalities of the left ventricle (LV) resulting in a combination of typical signs and symptoms. Historically, HF has been classified according to LV ejection fraction (EF) as either HF with reduced EF (HFrEF; LVEF <40%) or HF with preserved EF (HFpEF; LVEF >50%).1,2 The 2016 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)…
