Long‐term mortality in heart failure with mid‐range ejection fraction: systematic review and meta‐analysis [PDF]
ESC Heart Failure, 2022 Aims Heart failure patients with mid‐range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) have overlapping clinical features, compared with patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Mid‐Range Ejection Fraction at Diagnosis: Characterization and Natural History [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019 Background Limited data are available on mid‐range ejection fraction (mrEF) patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. We sought to define the characteristics, evolution, and long‐term prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy patients with mrEF at diagnosis ...

Heart failure with mid‐range ejection fraction: characterization of patients from the PINNACLE Registry® [PDF]
ESC Heart Failure, 2019 Aims Guidelines for management of patients with heart failure with mid‐range ejection fraction [HFmrEF; left ventricular EF (LVEF) 41–49%] do not exist. Disagreement exists whether HFmrEF should be considered a distinct group. The aim of this study is to

Heart failure with mid‐range ejection fraction: pro and cons of the new classification of Heart Failure by European Society of Cardiology guidelines [PDF]
ESC Heart Failure, 2020 Currently, the assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the cornerstone of the classification of patients with heart failure (HF). The mid‐range LVEF (HFmrEF) category was identified in an attempt to uncover specific characteristics of ...

Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Heart Failure With Mid-Range Ejection Fraction [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common in patients with heart failure (HF). The role of PH in patients with HF with reduced (HFrEF) and preserved (HFpEF) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been extensively characterized during the last years ...

Heart Failure With Mid-range Ejection Fraction: Every Coin Has Two Sides [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 This review summarizes current knowledge regarding clinical epidemiology, pathophysiology, and prognosis for patients with HFmrEF in comparison to HFrEF and HFpEF. Although recommended treatments currently focus on aggressive management of comorbidities,

Heart Failure With Mid-range Ejection Fraction: A Distinctive Subtype or a Transitional Stage? [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) was first proposed by Lam and Solomon in 2014, and was listed as a new subtype of heart failure (HF) in 2016 European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Since then, HFmrEF has attracted an increasing

Treatment of Heart Failure With Mid-Range Ejection Fraction: A Summary of Current Evidence [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome causing heavy burden in public health, and the modern objective assessment of it is based on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In 2016, the European Society of Cardiology classified the “gray area” in

Left atrial function and maximal exercise capacity in heart failure with preserved and mid‐range ejection fraction [PDF]
ESC Heart Failure, 2021 Aims Exercise intolerance is the leading manifestation of heart failure with preserved or mid‐range ejection fraction (HFpEF or HFmrEF), and left atrial (LA) function might contribute to modulating left ventricular filling and pulmonary venous pressures.

Prognostic value of reverse remodelling criteria in heart failure with reduced or mid‐range ejection fraction [PDF]
ESC Heart Failure, 2021 Aims Reverse remodelling (RR) is the recovery from left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction. Many arbitrary criteria for RR have been proposed. We searched the criteria with the strongest prognostic yield for the hard endpoint of cardiovascular ...
