Key result
The diagnostic workup of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction relies heavily on echocardiography for phenotyping, addressing challenges posed by patient heterogeneity and lack of criteria.
Why the study?
The diagnosis of HFpEF remains challenging due to the lack of universal criteria and patient heterogeneity.
How should the diagnostic workup and echocardiographic phenotyping be performed for patients with suspected HFpEF?

This review outlines the diagnostic workup and role of echocardiography in phenotyping heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major healthcare problem that is raising in prevalence. There has been a shift in HpEF management towards early diagnosis and phenotype-specific targeted treatment. However, the diagnosis of HFpEF remains a challenge due to the lack of universal criteria and patient heterogeneity. This review aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the diagnostic workup of HFpEF, highlighting the role of echocardiography in HFpEF phenotyping.
