Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in elderly patients with hypertension who do not have diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, or cardiac arrhythmia: focus on clinical portrait

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for up to half of all cases of HF. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is the main link in the pathogenesis of HFpEF. This HF phenotype is often associated with extensive comorbid pathology (arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, obesity, etc.). Until now, the features of the clinical portrait of a patient with hypertension complicated by HFpEF, occurring without known concomitant diseases and conditions, have not been sufficiently covered.
