HFrEF - [heart failure with reduced ejection fraction]Left ventricular failure with reduced ejection fractionLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class ILeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class I - No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnoea (shortness of breath)Left ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class IILeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class II - slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnoea (shortness of breath)Left ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class IIILeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class III - Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation or dyspnoea (shortness of breath)Left ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class IVLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction NYHA Class IV - unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increases.Left ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction due to cardiomyopathyLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction due to coronary artery diseaseLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction due to myocarditisLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction due to other disordersLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction due to valvular heart diseaseLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction secondary to cardiomyopathyLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction secondary to coronary artery diseaseLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction secondary to myocarditisLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction secondary to other disordersLeft ventricular failure with reduced ejection fraction secondary to valvular heart diseaseLeft ventricular failure with reduced systolic ejection fraction
