Heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) has been proposed as a distinct heart failure (HF) phenotype. Interatrial block (IAB) is a conduction delay between the atria and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Although there are several studies examining the effect of IAB in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction and HF with preserved ejection fraction, a literature review did not reveal any study investigating the clinical importance of the presence of IAB in patients with HFmrEF. Thus, the aim of this research was to evaluate clinical characteristics of HFmrEF with and without IAB.
