Second Universal Definition of Heart Failure (2026): Key Changes and Clinical Guidance from the AHA/ACC/ESC/WHF Expert Consensus

By MedXY 10/21/2026

The 2026 Second Universal Definition standardizes HF terminology, reframes ejection-fraction categories, formalizes pre-HF and dynamic HF trajectories, and offers a global, cause-based classification to improve prevention, diagnosis, research, and care.

Outcomes of Heart Failure With Reduced, Mildly Reduced, or Preserved Ejection Fraction: ESC HF III Registry

By MedXY 05/19/2026

The ESC HF III Registry found substantial mortality and rehospitalization across heart failure phenotypes. Risk was highest after acute hospitalization and generally worse with reduced ejection fraction, but HFmrEF and HFpEF also carried significant one-year event rates.

Risks and Realities of Withdrawing Heart Failure Medications After Ejection Fraction Improvement

By MedXY 08/17/2025

Withdrawal of renin-angiotensin inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with heart failure and improved ejection fraction significantly increases 1-year cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization risks; beta-blocker withdrawal shows varied effects based on EF.
