What does HFrEF mean?

Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) is a type of heart failure in which the heart loses its ability to contract effectively, resulting in a reduced ability to pump blood into circulation with sufficient force.

Note:
Ejection Fraction (EF) is a measure of the percentage of blood in the left ventricle of the heart that is pumped out during each heartbeat or contraction.
