Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) Abstract.
Heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction
(HFpEF) is a very common form of heart failure typically seen in
older patients and associated with poor prognosis. Patients with
HFpEF are characterized by a s small left ventricle with concentric
remodeling and abnormal compliance, which under the impact of
additional cardiovascular mechanisms and non-cardiac comorbidities,
leads to the cardinal symptoms of dyspnea and exercise intolerance.
The diagnosis of HFpEF is still under debate, and the therapeutic
options are limited despite intensive research efforts. In the
present review article, we provide an overview of the current
understanding of the pathiohysiology of HFpEF, the current
diagnostic approach, and a summary of the available evidence on
treatment.
