Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFREF) ICD-10-CM codes

HFREF, or Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, is a type of heart failure where the heart's left ventricle cannot pump blood effectively.

Symptoms may include breathlessness, fatigue, fluid retention, and decreased ability to exercise. However, some people may not experience symptoms in the condition's early stages.

Treatment generally includes lifestyle modifications, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, medications to manage symptoms and slow disease progression, and in some cases, devices or surgical procedures.
