Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction |
Patients with heart failure with reduced EF (heart function LVEF <50%). They require intensive medical therapy and will be evaluated for prevention of sudden death. |
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction |
Patients with heart failure with preserved EF have normal but dysfunctional ventricles that result in congestion and heart failure symptoms. More common in elderly patients especially females. |

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy |
Disorder of the heart usually aggravated by strenuous physical activity and eventually leading to ventricular arrhythmias. |
Dilated cardiomyopathy |
