Abstract
The last years it is a good time in heart failure for innovative therapy. The results of new trials which were published after the last 2016 guidelines for heart failure need the systematic approach and present the practical guide based on EBM. For that reason in the last year 2019 the experts of Heart Failure Association (HFA) European Society of Cardiology published the consensus. The present article summarized the main issues regarding heart failure with reduced ejcetion fraction together with comennt based on the HFA expert consensus.
