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 …

Approximately half of the patients with signs and symptoms of heart failure have a left
ventricular ejection fraction that is not markedly abnormal. Despite the historically initial …

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 …

Cardiac rehabilitation is defined as a multidisciplinary program that includes exercise
training, cardiac risk factor modification, psychosocial assessment, and outcomes …

Background A substantial proportion of patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF) present with normal natriuretic peptide (NP) levels. The …

Exercise intolerance is the cardinal symptom of heart failure (HF) and is of crucial relevance,
because it is associated with a poor quality of life and increased mortality. While impaired …

Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (EF; HFpEF) accounts for 50% of HF
cases, and its prevalence relative to HF with reduced EF continues to rise. In contrast to HF …

Heart failure is characterized by pathologic hemodynamic derangements, including elevated
cardiac filling pressures (“backward” failure), which may or may not coexist with reduced …

Approximately half of all patients with heart failure (HF) have a preserved ejection fraction,
and the prevalence is growing rapidly given the aging population in many countries and the …

Background The principal biological processes that characterize heart failure with a
preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are systemic inflammation, epicardial adipose tissue …
