| Popis: | Introduction There is debate about the diagnostic profile of the heart failure population. Diagnostic criteria for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) are variable and many believe that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is over-diagnosed. There is also differing opinion about whether these conditions are distinct entities. The aim of this study was to differentiate a heart failure population with contemporary diagnostic parameters. Methods A diagnostic pathway using current best evidence for the diagnosis of HFREF and HFPEF was created. This was applied prospectively to all 319 new patients attending our heart failure clinic between May 2013 and July 2014. Results 245 of the 319 new patients were deemed to have heart failure clinically. 73% met our diagnostic criteria for HFREF (LVEF |
