Pharmacologic management of chronic heart failure
(HF) is primarily determined by the patient's left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and severity of
symptoms. Patients with chronic HF who have an
LVEF ≤40% are considered to have heart failure with
reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and those with an
LVEF ≥50% are considered to have heart failure with
preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Patients with an
LVEF of 41-49% have heart failure with mildly reduced
or mid-range ejection fraction.
