Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome with increasing prevalence and substantial morbidity and mortality. Recent advances in pharmacotherapy have transformed its management. This review summarizes current evidence supporting the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, alongside selected use of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors. Emphasis is placed on early initiation of disease-modifying therapies, phenotypic tailoring, and comorbidity-targeted strategies, especially in obese and diabetic patients. Together, these approaches define a new era of guideline-directed, personalized care for patients with HFpEF.
