Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form where the heart pumps normally but has impaired relaxation. Management focuses on symptom relief and underlying comorbidities.

Key Highlights:

• Diagnosis: Echocardiography and biomarkers help differentiate HFpEF from reduced ejection fraction.
• Management: Treat hypertension, diabetes, and obesity to improve outcomes.
• Medication: Diuretics, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and novel drugs may help.
• Lifestyle: Exercise and dietary interventions reduce symptoms.
• Prognosis: Early identification and intervention improve quality of life and survival.

HFpEF remains challenging, requiring individualized management and ongoing research for better therapies.
