The three main indicators of heart failure

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), Heart failure with median ejection fraction HFmrEF and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is the type of heart failure classified according to LVEF. HFpEF accounts for about half of heart failure patients, HFmrEF patients are quite large, and HFrEF is more serious. These three indicators need to be combined with multiple evaluations, and treatment needs comprehensive management. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), Heart failure with median ejection fraction HFmrEF and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are three types of heart failure classified according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). These three indicators are key factors in assessing the severity of heart failure and are important for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of heart failure. HFpEF is more than 50%, HFmrEF is between 41% and 49%, HFrEF is less than 40%. HFpEF accounts for about half of heart failure patients, mostly in elderly women, often complicated with hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation and other diseases. HFmrEF also has a significant number of patients and is treated similarly to HFrEF.

HFrEF is a serious type of heart failure, accounting for 40% to 50% of patients with heart failure. Patients with LVEF are reduced, ventricular systolic dysfunction, obvious symptoms, reduced exercise tolerance, poor quality of life, and poor prognosis. It should be noted that these three indicators are only the initial classification of heart failure. It is also necessary to formulate personalized treatment plans based on comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, signs, cardiac structure and function. Meanwhile, the treatment of heart failure is a comprehensive process, including drug treatment, lifestyle change, cardiac resynchronization therapy, etc., requiring close cooperation between patients and doctors for long-term management.
