A Need to Preserve Ejection Fraction during Heart Failure †.

Heart failure (HF) is a significant global healthcare burden with increasing prevalence and high morbidity and mortality rates. The diagnosis and management of HF are closely tied to ejection fraction (EF), a crucial parameter for evaluating disease severity and determining treatment plans. This paper emphasizes the urgent need to maintain EF during heart failure, highlighting the distinct phenotypes of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It discusses the complexities of HFrEF pathophysiology and its negative impact on patient outcomes, stressing the importance of ongoing research and the development of effective therapeutic interventions to slow down the progression from preserved to reduced ejection fraction. Additionally, it explores the potential role of renal denervation in preserving ejection fraction and its implications for HFrEF management. This comprehensive review aims to offer valuable insights into the critical role of EF preservation in enhancing outcomes for patients with heart failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
