Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction. Data from registry and community-based studies demonstrate that patients with HFpEF are more often older, female, and more likely to have multiple comorbidities, including hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, and obesity 8, 9.

Irbesartan in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Study The finalized document is approved by the CPG for publication in the European Heart Journal. The Guidelines were developed after careful consideration of the scientific and medical knowledge and the evidence available at the You can have a normal ejection fraction measurement and still have heart failure (called HFpEF or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). If the heart muscle has become so thick and stiff that the ventricle holds a smaller than usual volume of blood, it might still seem to pump out a normal percentage of the blood that enters it.

Halperin, MD, FACC, FAHA, Chair-Elect; Nancy Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) comprises almost half of the population burden of HF. Because HFpEF likely includes a range of cardiac and non-cardiac abnormalities, typically in elderly patients, obtaining an accurate diagnosis may be challenging, not least due to the existence of multiple HFpEF mimics and a newly identified subset of patients with HFpEF and normal Renal effects of the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor LCZ696 in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
