A Universal New Definition of Heart Failure With Improved Ejection Fraction for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT: Aims: The aims of this study were to describe the characteristics and outcomes of the universal new definition of heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) and to identify predictors for HFimpEF among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: CAD subjects with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (EF ≤ 40%) at baseline were enrolled from the real-world registry of the Cardiorenal ImprovemeNt study from January 2007 to December 2018. The new definition of HFimpEF was defined as left ventricular EF (LVEF) of≤40% at baseline and with improvement of up to 40% and at least a ≥ 10% increase during 1 month to 1 year after discharge. Results: Of the 747 CAD patients with HFrEF (86.7% males, mean age: 61.4 ± 11 years), 267 (35.7%) patie
