Recent data suggest that guideline‐directed medical therapy of patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) might improve clinical outcomes in patients with HF up to a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 55–65%, whereas patients with higher LVEF do not seem to benefit. Recent data have shown that LVEF may have a U‐shaped relation with outcome, with poorer outcome also in patients with supranormal values. This suggests that patients with supranormal LVEF may be a distinctive group of patients.
