Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband is 73 and was diagnosed with heart failure and a severely dilated left ventricle. At the time, he was pumping 10 liters per minute. He had a proBNP natriuretic peptide level ...

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by structural or functional impairments in ventricular filling or the ejection of blood from the heart. In the United States, HF represents a ...

Ejection fraction (EF) quantifies the proportion of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat and serves as the cornerstone for categorising heart failure into reduced (HFrEF), ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has limited treatment options and remains a medical challenge. HFpEF is characterized by diastolic dysfunction with a normal ejection fraction.

The Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology (HFA of the ESC), and the Japanese Heart Failure Society (JHFS) announced today a new ...

Objective: To provide an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF), as well as its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical evidence regarding its pharmacologic management.

In contrast to the advances in therapy for systolic HF over the past three decades, which have improved mortality rates, no therapies have been proven to reduce mortality in patients with HFNEF (Table ...
