</html><description>HFrEF means **heart failure with reduced ejection fraction**. It describes a type of heart failure where the heart&#x2019;s main pumping chamber does not squeeze as strongly as expected. It is commonly used in cardiology clinics, hospitals, echocardiography reports, and clinical research. The term helps clinicians communicate diagnosis, prognosis (expected course), and treatment options using a shared framework.</description></oembed>
