Implication
Right heart dysfunction warrants evaluation in HFpEF; extends ESC guidance with proposed staging for phenotyping and trials.
Key Points
- The position statement aims to address the role of right heart dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and explore management strategies.
- Review of prevalence, diagnosis, and pathophysiology of right heart dysfunction in HFpEF.
- Discussion of treatment strategies and knowledge gaps affecting this population.
- Right heart dysfunction is prevalent and significantly impacts outcomes in HFpEF patients.
- Enhanced understanding of right heart mechanics may lead to better treatment approaches.
