Agreed Definition

In this article we discuss the treatment of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and of HF with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) as has received considerable interest since the publciation of the 2016 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) heart failure guidelines. Since clinical trials on HFpEF have included also patients with HFmrEF, due to the lack of an agreed definition, the ESC recommendations here described apply to both phenotypes. As a consequence of the recent characterisation of this HF syndrome, it is expected that upcoming research will provide data specifically regarding HFmrEF and tailored recommendations will be developed in the future.
