What is Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and Who Does It Impact
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction or (HFpEF) is defined as the symptoms and/or signs of heart failure caused by structural/functional cardiac abnormalities. It also includes at least one of the following: elevated natriuretic peptides; or objective evidence of cardiogenic pulmonary or systemic congestion.

What is the Clinical Workup for Diagnosing Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)
Accurate, early evaluation and diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) facilitates treatment intervewntions and improves outcomes.  In this CardioBites, we review the clinical workup for diagnosing HFpEF.  YouTube Link

What are the phenotypes of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)
Our third program on HFpEF examines clinical phenotypes, comorbidities, and some underlying differences in pathophysiology. Learn more about how identifying the underlying phenotype of HFpEF may facilitate a more targeted approach to treatment.  YouTube Link

What Do Current Guidelines Recommend for the Treatment of HFpEF
The goals of therapy for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction are to reduce HF symptoms, increase functional status, and reduce the risk of hospital admission.
