In the last years, major progress occurred in heart failure (HF) management. Quadruple
therapy is now mandatory for all the patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. Whilst …

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is an increasing challenge for modern day
medicine and has been drawing more attention recently. Invasive right heart catheterization …

Aims The HFA‐PEFF and H2FPEF scores have been developed to diagnose heart failure
with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and hold prognostic value. Their value in patients …

Background Detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) involves

Aims Although the number of patients suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection
fraction (HFpEF) increases, the routine diagnosis remains a challenge. In the absence of a …
