This review highlights the impact and clinical implications of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction during the perioperative period and critical illness.
This review highlights the clinical implications and pathophysiology of HFpEF and diastolic dysfunction in perioperative and critical care settings.
HFpEF and diastolic dysfunction merit consideration perioperatively and in critical illness; review extends understanding but leaves targeted strategies open for prospective study.
Epidemiological and clinical studies suggest that HF with a preserved ejection fraction will become the more common form of HF which clinicians will encounter. The spectrum of diastolic disease extends from the asymptomatic phase to fulminant cardiac failure. These patients are commonly encountered in operating rooms and critical care units. A clearer understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and clinical implications of HF with a preserved ejection fraction is fundamental to directing further research and to evaluate interventions. This review highlights the impact of diastolic dysfunction and HF with a preserved ejection fraction during the perioperative period and during critical illness.
