==Overview==
==Overview==
Treatment of HFpEF is focused on treating underlying disease, such as [[hypertension]], [[Coronary heart disease|coronary artery disease]] and [[atrial fibrillation]]. [[Diuretics]] are the mainstay of [[pharmacotherapy]]. Other effective measures to control HFpEF include exercise, [[weight]] control and [[lipid]] control.
[[Hear failure]] has been divided into three subgroups including [[heart failure reduced EF]], [[heart failure mildly reduced EF]], [[heart failure preserved EF]]. [[HFrEF]] is defined when [[LVEF]]≤ 40% and significant [[LV systolic dysfunction]]. [[Patients]] with a [[LVEF]] between 41% and 49% have [[ mildly reduced LV systolic function]] or [[HFmrEF]]. [[Patients]] with [[ejection fractions]] between 40-50%  may benefit from similar therapies to those with [[LVEF]]≤ 40%. [[HFpEF]] is explained in the presence of  symptoms and signs of [[HF]], and evidence of structural and/or functional [[cardiac]] abnormalities and/or raised [[natriuretic peptides]] ([[NPs]]), and [[LVEF]]≥ 50%. [[Patients]] with non-[[cardiovascular]] disease including [[anaemia]], [[pulmonary]], [[renal]], [[thyroid]], or [[hepatic]] disease may mimic symptoms and signs of [[HF]], but in the absence of [[cardiac]] dysfunction, they are not diagnosed for [[HF]]. Neverthless, these [[disorders]] can coexist with [[HF]] and exacerbate the [[HF]] syndrome.
==HFpEF pharmacotherapy==
Treatment for HFpEF is based on underlying associated conditions. These measure are mainly focused on:

==[[Heart failure preserved ejection fraction]] ([[HFpEF]])==
*
===Clinical characteristics===
* [[HFpEF]] [[patients]] are [[older]] and more often [[female]].
* [[AF]], [[CKD]], and non-[[cardiovascular]] comorbidities are more common in [[patients]] with [[HFpEF]].<ref name="pmid32231333">{{cite journal |vauthors=Borlaug BA |title=Evaluation and management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction |journal=Nat Rev Cardiol |volume=17 |issue=9 |pages=559–573 |date=September 2020 |pmid=32231333 |doi=10.1038/s41569-020-0363-2 |url=}}</ref>
* It is important to exclude other [[conditions]] that might mimic the [[HFpEF]] syndrome including [[lung]] disease, [[anaemia]], [[obesity]], and [[deconditioning]].
=== The diagnosis of [[heart failure preserved ejection fraction]]===
*: Echocardiographic criteria:
*[[ LA]] size ([[LA]] volume index >32 mL/m2)
* [[Mitral]] E velocity <90 cm/s
* Septal e' velocity <9 cm/s
* E/e' ratio >9
*: The diagnosis is made when there are the following:
(1) [[Symptoms]] and signs of [[HF]]<br>
(2) An [[LVEF]] ≥ 50%<br>
(3) Evidence of [[cardiac]] structural and/or functional abnormalities consistent with the presence of [[LV diastolic dysfunction]]/ raised [[LV filling pressures]], including raised [[NPs]]<br>
 
*In the presence of [[AF]], the threshold for [[LA]] volume index is >40 mL/m2
* [[Exercise stress]] thresholds include E/e' ratio at peak stress ≥ 15 or [[tricuspid regurgitation]] ([[TR]]) velocity at peak stress >3.4 m/s
* [[LV]] global longitudinal strain <16%
 
*An invasively measured [[pulmonary capillary wedge pressure]] ([[PCWP]]) of ≥15 mmHg (at rest) or ≥25 mmHg (with exercise) or [[LV end-diastolic pressure ]]≥16 mmHg (at rest) is generally considered diagnostic.<ref name="pmid31472035">{{cite journal |vauthors=Barandiarán Aizpurua A, Sanders-van Wijk S, Brunner-La Rocca HP, Henkens M, Heymans S, Beussink-Nelson L, Shah SJ, van Empel VPM |title=Validation of the HFA-PEFF score for the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction |journal=Eur J Heart Fail |volume=22 |issue=3 |pages=413–421 |date=March 2020 |pmid=31472035 |doi=10.1002/ejhf.1614 |url=}}</ref>

* No treatment has been shown to reduce [[mortality]] and [[morbidity]] in [[patients]] with [[HFpEF]].
*Hospitalizations for [[HF]] were reduced by [[candesartan]] and [[spironolactone]], [[sacubitril/valsartan]].
* Many of [[HFpEF]] [[patients]] have underlying [[hypertension]] and/or [[CAD]], treated with [[ACE-I]]/[[ARB]], [[beta-blockers]], or [[MRAs]].
* The [[Food and Drug Administration]] ([[FDA]]) has confirmed the use of [[sacubitril/valsartan]] and [[spironolactone ]] in those with an [[LVEF]] ‘less than normal’.
* These statements relate to [[patients]] within both the [[HFmrEF]] and [[HFpEF]] categories.
*For sacubitril/valsartan,  subgroup analysis from the [[PARAGON-HF]] study showed a reduction in [[HF]] hospitalizations in [[patients]] with [[LVEF]] <57%, and a meta-analysis of the [[PARADIGM-HF]] and [[PARAGON-HF]] studies showed a reduction in [[cardiovascular]] death and [[HF]] hospitalization in [[patients]] with [[ LVEF]] below the normal range.
* Use of  [[spironolactone]], in [[TOPCAT]] study was associated with reduced [[cardiovascular]] death and [[HF]] [[hospitalization]],
*Treatment should be aimed at reducing [[symptoms]] of [[congestion]] with [[diuretics]] such as [[loop diuretic]].
* [[Thiazide]] [[diuretics]] may be useful for managing [[hypertension]].
* Reducing [[body weight]] in [[obese]] [[patients]] and increasing [[exercise]] may further improve symptoms and [[exercise capacity]].
* Notably in [[patients]] with [[HFpEF]], treatment of underlying risk factors, [[etiology]], and coexisting [[comorbidities]] such as [[hypertension]], [[CAD]], [[AF]], [[valvular heart disease]] are recommended.

Overview

Hear failure has been divided into three subgroups including heart failure reduced EF, heart failure mildly reduced EF, heart failure preserved EF. HFrEF is defined when LVEF≤ 40% and significant LV systolic dysfunction. Patients with a LVEF between 41% and 49% have mildly reduced LV systolic function or HFmrEF. Patients with ejection fractions between 40-50% may benefit from similar therapies to those with LVEF≤ 40%. HFpEF is explained in the presence of symptoms and signs of HF, and evidence of structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities and/or raised natriuretic peptides (NPs), and LVEF≥ 50%. Patients with non-cardiovascular disease including anaemia, pulmonary, renal, thyroid, or hepatic disease may mimic symptoms and signs of HF, but in the absence of cardiac dysfunction, they are not diagnosed for HF. Neverthless, these disorders can coexist with HF and exacerbate the HF syndrome.

ACE-I may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
ARB may be indicated for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
Beta-blocker may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death,
MRA may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
Sacubitril/valsartan may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
