Heart failure with reduced ejection frac-
tion (HFrEF)
what are the two types of heart failure OR
Heart failure with preserved ejection frac-
tion (HFpEF)
this is systolic heart failure meaning
there is a contraction issue in the ven-
tricles leading to inefficient explusion of
blood systematically (low SV and CO)
Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Frac-
tion (HFrEF)
weak and enlarged
appearance of left ventricle in HFrEF
<40%
what ejection fraction is required to clas-
sify a heart with HFrEF
this is diastolic heart failure meaning
there is a filling issue in the ventricles
where they are unable to accept the
blood ejected from the atria during ven-
tricular filling/diastole
