Summary

Heart failure with preserved systolic function, often due to diastolic dysfunction, affects many patients. Diagnosis requires excluding other causes, and treatment focuses on individual patient needs.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Heart Failure Pathophysiology

Context:

  • Congestive heart failure can occur without impaired left ventricular systolic function.
  • This presentation is often attributed to diastolic heart failure, but other causes must be considered.
  • Diastolic heart failure remains a diagnosis of exclusion due to a lack of validated diagnostic criteria.

Purpose:

  • To review the current understanding of heart failure with preserved left ventricular systolic function (HFpEF).
  • To discuss diagnostic challenges, patient demographics, and prognostic factors associated with HFpEF.
  • To highlight the limited evidence-based therapeutic strategies for HFpEF.

Summary:

  • Prevalence of HFpEF varies widely (13-70%), with most studies reporting 30-40%.
  • HFpEF is more common in women, the elderly, and those with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.

  • Atrial fibrillation is a frequent comorbidity and potential precipitant of deterioration.

    • Impact:

    • Patients with HFpEF generally have a better prognosis than those with reduced systolic function, indicated by lower mortality and readmission rates.
    • Current therapeutic approaches for HFpEF are not guided by robust outcome data.
    • Treatment relies on individualized pathophysiological assessment rather than established pharmacological protocols.
