Heart Failure (HF): A clinical syndrome where the heart's ability to pump blood is inadequate to meet the body's needs, resulting in symptoms like dyspnea and edema.
Systolic Heart Failure (HFrEF): Heart failure characterized by reduced ejection fraction (<40%), due to impaired ventricular contraction.
Diastolic Heart Failure (HFpEF): Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (>50%), caused by impaired ventricular relaxation and filling.
Ejection Fraction (EF): Percentage of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole; used to classify HF types.
Left-sided Heart Failure: Failure involving the left ventricle, leading to pulmonary congestion and respiratory symptoms.
Right-sided Heart Failure: Failure involving the right ventricle, causing systemic venous congestion and peripheral edema.
