Definition of LVF

Medically reviewed by Dr. Otari Nergadze, Neurosurgeon | Updated: January 2026

LVF: 1. Left ventricular failure, failure of the left side of the heart.
2. Left ventricular function, the function of the left ventricle.

In both of these senses, LVF is in contrast to RVF (right ventricular failure or function).
