Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction

Dear Colleagues,

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) still remains a major public health concern with substantial morbidity and mortality despite significant improvements in pharmacological (i.e., angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors, type 2 sodium glucose transporter inhibitors) and non-pharmacological treatments (i.e., percutaneous valve repair, invasive strategies for arrhythmias). In view of its multidimensional character, the management of the HFrEF syndrome is gradually moving towards a multiparametric approach as well as its prognostic stratification. In such a context, only a combined evaluation of different variables (i.e., biomarkers, functional and other instrumental parameters) appears to be most beneficial in this clinical setting.
This Special Issue of Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine “Heart failure with reduced ejection Fraction” will collect high-quality comprehensive reviews and original research papers on recent advances in the management of this complex syndrome.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Risk stratification
- Clinical decision making and real world outcomes
- Cardiovascular Imaging
- Biomarkers
- Functional evaluation
- Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment
Manuscripts submitted to this Special Issue will be subjected to more stringent selection criteria. Those that fail to pass this selection will be considered for publication in RCM as regular contributions.
