Left-sided heart failure is divided into heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Both are caused by changes in the walls of the heart’s chambers (ventricles) causing them to become weak and stiff. The result is that the heart becomes less efficient at pumping blood.
