In 2016, the Task Force for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Heart Failure of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)1 introduced heart failure (HF) with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) as a distinct phenotype. This distinction was expected to stimulate research on the underlying characteristics, pathophysiology and treatment of patients with HFmrEF. Indeed, in the following… View more

Because of the ageing population in industrialised countries, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease has dramatically increased.1 In particular, heart failure (HF) has become a major public health problem and the leading cause of morbidity, hospitalisation and mortality in older people.2,3 Patients with HF, especially the oldest, are often characterised by a “vulnerability status” due to the… View more

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)… View more

There is universal acknowledgement that climate change and extreme weather events pose an increasing threat to global health.1,2 Precisely how this will affect patterns of disease is open to conjecture. For example, while it is predicted that increasingly warmer temperatures and more intense heat waves will provoke more cardiovascular, respiratory and renal events, a corollary reduction in… View more

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common disease with rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence due to demographic changes.1 Well-known risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome (arterial hypertension, diabetes, obesity and dyslipidaemia), chronic kidney disease and AF, predispose to the development of HFpEF, especially in older people. Establishing the clinical… View more
