The Korean Society of Heart Failure guidelines aim to provide physicians with evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and managing patients with heart failure (HF). In Korea, the prevalence of HF has been rapidly increasing in the last 10 years. HF has recently been classified into HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (EF), and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF). Moreover, the availability of newer therapeutic agents has led to an increased emphasis on the appropriate diagnosis of HFpEF. Accordingly, this part of the guidelines will mainly cover the definition, epidemiology, and diagnosis of HF.
韩国心力衰竭学会指南旨在为医生提供基于证据的关于心力衰竭（HF）患者诊断和管理的建议。在韩国，过去10年中HF的患病率一直在迅速上升。最近，HF被分为射血分数降低的心力衰竭（HFrEF）、射血分数轻度降低的心力衰竭（HFmrEF）和射血分数保留的心力衰竭（HFpEF）。此外，新型治疗药物的出现使得对HFpEF的正确诊断更加受到重视。因此，本部分指南将主要涵盖HF的定义、流行病学和诊断。
