Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is segregated into subtypes based on the left ventricular ejection fraction. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for up to 50% of all HF patients, and is linked to high morbidity and mortality. Lately it is becoming clearer that HFpEF is a heterogeneous syndrome that is probably caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and a great burden of associated comorbidities, each of which contributes to a range of pathophysiologic abnormalities that are still not comprehended. In this review, we discuss the current explanations on HFpEF etiology, diagnosis, current guideline recommendations and management of HFpEF.
