| Core Tip |
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been consistently used for the diagnosis, classification, and management of heart failure (HF) over the last three decades. HF is classified as HF with reduced LVEF, HF with midrange or mildly reduced LVEF, and HF with preserved LVEF using arbitrary, continuously changing LVEF cutoffs. A prerequisite for using this terminology is knowledge of the LVEF normal range, which is lacking and may lead to erroneous conclusions, especially at the higher end of the LVEF spectrum. |
