You have heard me talk about the growing number of patients with HFpEF. Yet, it is a difficult diagnosis. It's much easier to diagnose HF with reduced EF (HFrEF) because the EF is abnormal and the patient usually has a history, whether it'shypertensionormyocardial infarction. This is diff...
Topics discussed include HfpEF's symptoms that include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the lower part of the body, diagnosis, and how to choose the appropriate medications. Meanwhile, the meaning of EF is further discussed. INSET: The meaning of ejection fraction....
GDMT was associated with improved survival in patients with HFrEF and HFpEF. THAI ADHERE Registry This multi-center prospective observational registry enrolled 1612 hospitalized patients with a discharge diagnosis of HF at 18 centers in Thailand between March 2006 and November 2007. The median age was...
ATTR cardiomyopathy, or ATTR-CM, is a form of amyloidosis caused by destabilization of TTR and subsequent accumulation of misfolded TTR protein in the myocardium. Approximately 13 to 19% of all patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, commonly referred to as HFpEF, may have ...
Interestingly, serum levels of H-FABP did not differ between patients with HFpEF and HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction <50%) between each NYHA functional class [66]. Dinh et al. found markedly higher levels of Troponin T and H-FABP, even in patients with asymptomatic left ventricular ...
Women predominantly exhibit HFpEF compared to men. Factors exclusive to women, such as adverse pregnancy outcomes and premature menopause, elevate the risk of HF. The establishment of sex-specific optimal drug dosages and concrete guidelines for device therapy is essential. Concerted multidisciplinary in...

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)BACKGROUND. The HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm is a recently published tool to help in the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). One of the echocardiographic diagnostic criteria is left ventricular (LV) relative wall ...
