Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has grown to become the dominant
form of heart failure worldwide, in tandem with ageing of the general population and the …

Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is an integral part of
the routine evaluation of patients presenting with symptoms of dyspnea or heart failure. The …

Nearly half of all patients with heart failure (HF) have a normal left ventricular (LV) ejection
fraction (EF) and the condition is termed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction …

Making a firm diagnosis of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
remains a challenge. We recommend a new stepwise diagnostic process, the 'HFA–PEFF …

Since the 2007 publication of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines
for stress echocardiography, 1 new information has become available about the …

A unique and highly versatile technique, stress echocardiography (SE) is increasingly
recognized for its utility in the evaluation of non-ischaemic heart disease. SE allows for …

Background: Diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is
challenging and relies largely on demonstration of elevated cardiac filling pressures …

The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function should be an integral part of a
routine examination, particularly in patients presenting with dyspnea or heart failure. About …

Half of patients with heart failure (HF) have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction
