Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Symptomatic heart failure, despite preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, is a well-recognized phenomenon. This manifestation of diastolic dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and can be attributed to a variety of pathogeneses, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, infiltrative processes, and obesity. Unlike in systolic heart failure, where LV ejecti...

[Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)].

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

1. Demonstrate the association between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and survival. 2. Given a patient with heart failure (HF), recognize HFpEF on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms, physical examination, echocardiography, and radiographic findings. 3. Classify patients at high risk of hospitalization and mortality through assessing risk factors, clinical presentat...

Baseline characteristics of patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction at admission with acute heart failure in Saudi Arabia

Heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is defined as heart failure symptoms and signs with a normal or near-normal ejection fraction (EF) with evidence of diastolic dysfunction. The few Middle Eastern studies that have been conducted were designed to compare patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HFpEF.The aim of this study was to study Saudi patients w...
