Date: June 14, 2021 Issue #:  1626Summary:  Among patients with chronic heart failure, those with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≤40% are considered to have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Patients with a LVEF≥50% are considered to have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Those with a LVEF of 41-49% are an intermediate group more similar to patients with HFpEF.
