Although patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)(left ventricular
ejection fraction≥ 50%) comprise nearly half of those with chronic heart failure, evidence …

Recently, the 4th Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction was published. 1 Perhaps it is
time to consider a First Universal Definition of Heart Failure. Objective, clinically verifiable …

The discovery of the heart as an endocrine organ resulted in a remarkable recognition of the
