Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition that affects the heart’s functional capacity, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and dyspnea. It affects millions of adults in the United States and presents challenges in optimizing treatment and coordinating care among clinicians. Additionally, the various classifications for HF and limited research on treatment outcomes in heart failure with midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) further complicate the pharmacological management of patients with this disease.
