[Seminar] Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

00:00 - 27 Nov 2025

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome affecting around 70 million individuals globally. It has a prevalence of 2% in Europe and North America and approximately 1% in Asia and South America. Accurate diagnosis relies on the presence of typical signs and symptoms, elevated natriuretic peptide concentrations, and evidence of cardiac structural or functional abnormalities using cardiac imaging techniques. Approximately half of all heart failure cases are attributed to reduced left ventricular systolic function—classified as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
