AHA/ACC/ESC/WHF Expert Consensus Document: Second Universal Definition of Heart Failure (2026)
Listen to this summary
The authors aim to establish a standardized definition and classification system for heart failure (HF) to address the challenges posed by subjective and ambiguous terminology that hinder research and prevention efforts. The Second Universal Definition of Heart Failure proposes a new framework that categorizes HF based on ejection fraction and emphasizes the importance of social determinants and geographic variations in HF risk and outcomes. This consensus document seeks to enhance prevention, early detection, and management of HF globally, ultimately improving patient care and cardiovascular health.
