Heart failure with preserved systolic function, often called diastolic heart failure, is increasingly common in the elderly. A new seven-step diagnostic algorithm aims to accurately define this condition.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Geriatrics
Medical Diagnostics

Background:

Heart failure (HF) is a significant health concern, particularly among the elderly population.
The prevalence of HF with preserved systolic function (HFpEF) is rising, accounting for 40-50% of all HF cases.
HFpEF is frequently referred to as 'diastolic heart failure' in literature and epidemiological studies, despite a lack of precise diastolic function analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a diagnostic algorithm for accurately defining heart failure with preserved systolic function (HFpEF).
To provide a structured approach for clinicians to confirm the diagnosis of HFpEF.

Main Methods:

The proposed algorithm involves a seven-step diagnostic process.
It integrates clinical symptoms, physical examination findings, and detailed echocardiographic analysis of diastolic function.

Main Results:

The algorithm provides a systematic method to differentiate HFpEF from other conditions.
It aims to improve the precision of HFpEF diagnosis.

Conclusions:

A standardized diagnostic algorithm is crucial for the accurate identification of HFpEF.
Implementing this algorithm can enhance clinical practice and research related to diastolic heart dysfunction.
