Sumario:Recently, the Heart Failure Society of America, Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology and Japanese Heart Failure Society jointly issued a consensus statement on Universal Definition and Classification of Heart Failure. Natriuretic peptides were written into the universal definition of heart failure and became the second cardiac marker written into the definition of disease after troponin.The consensus proposed new four classes of heart failure according to ejection fraction(EF), including heart failure with reduced EF(HFrEF), heart failure with mildly reduced EF(HFmrEF), heart failure with preserved EF(HFpEF)and heart failure with improved EF(HFimpEF). Universal Definition and Classification of Heart Failure has wide applicability, which is helpful for clinicians, researchers and patients to understand and adopt.It is an important first step forward to the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. While using the universal definition and classification of heart failure, clinical staff should actively conduct scientific research to promote the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of heart failure.
