Heart failure (HF), one of the most common diseases in the world, causes left ventricular dysfunction (LV) and high mortality. HF patients are stratified into two groups based on their LV ejection fraction (EF) — HF with normal EF (HFNEF) and with reduced EF (HFREF). EF is a commonly used measure of...
