Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in the Young [PDF]
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), traditionally considered a disease of the elderly, may also affect younger patients. However, little is known about HFpEF in the young. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 1203 patients with HFpEF (left ventricular ...

Currently, the assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the cornerstone of the classification of patients with heart failure (HF). The mid‐range LVEF (HFmrEF) category was identified in an attempt to uncover specific characteristics of ...

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Abstract Heart failure affects nearly 6 million Americans and represents the leading cause of hospitalization among patients 65 years of age and older. Of the total heart failure population, approximately half of patients with heart failure have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a complex clinical condition. Initially called diastolic heart failure, it soon became clear that this condition is more than the opposite side of systolic heart failure. It is increasingly prevalent and lethal.

Managing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing in prevalence as the general population ages. Poorly managed heart failure symptoms of decompensated HFpEF is one of the most common reasons for prolonged hospital admission. The high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with HFpEF is compounded by a poor understanding of the ...

Heart Failure With Mid-range Ejection Fraction: Every Coin Has Two Sides
This review summarizes current knowledge regarding clinical epidemiology, pathophysiology, and prognosis for patients with HFmrEF in comparison to HFrEF and HFpEF. Although recommended treatments currently focus on aggressive management of comorbidities,

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction [PDF]
It is now well established that among patients with the clinical syndrome of heart failure (HF), approximately half have preserved systolic function, known most commonly as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although originally considered to be predominantly a syndrome that pathophysiologically involves abnormalities in diastolic ...
