Values are presented as number (%).

A-Fib = atrial fibrillation, A-Flutter = atrial flutter, eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate, EMPEROR-Preserved = EMPagliflozin outcomE tRial in Patients With chrOnic heaRt Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, EMPEROR-Reduced = EMPagliflozin outcomE tRial in Patients With chrOnic heaRt Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction, HFpEF = heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, HFrEF = heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, KorAHF = Korean Acute Heart Failure, LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction, NT-proBNP = N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide, NYHA = New York Heart Association.

a40% < LVEF: NT-proBNP ≤ 300 pg/mL in patients without atrial fibrillation and ≤ 900 pg/mL in patients with atrial fibrillation. 40% ≥ LVEF: NT-proBNP < 600 pg/mL in patients without atrial fibrillation and < 1,200 pg/mL in patients with atrial fibrillation.
