Characterization of heart failure patients with mid‐range left ventricular ejection fraction—a report from the CHART‐2 Study

Background The new category of heart failure (HF), HF with mid‐range left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HFmrEF), has recently been proposed. However, the clinical features of HFmrEF, with reference to HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) and HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF) in the same HF cohort, rema...

Description
Summary:Background The new category of heart failure (HF), HF with mid‐range left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HFmrEF), has recently been proposed. However, the clinical features of HFmrEF, with reference to HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) and HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF) in the same HF cohort, remain to be fully examined. Methods and results In the Chronic Heart Failure Analysis and Registry in the Tohoku District‐2 Study, we examined 3480 consecutive HF patients with echocardiography data consisting of 2154 HFpEF (LVEF ≥50%), 596 HFmrEF (LVEF 40–49%) and 730 HFrEF (LVEF
