Key result
Comprehensive review outlines mechanisms, clinical stages, diagnostic grading, and therapies for diastolic dysfunction and HFpEF.
This review summarizes the pathophysiology, diagnostic methodology, and therapeutic options for managing diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
As the population ages, the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is rising. The presentation and management of these patients is increasing in frequency and requires an understanding of its pathophysiology, diagnostic methodology, as well as modern therapy for optimal outcome. This review will discuss the mechanisms, clinical stages, diagnostic grading, and therapeutic options for the management of diastolic dysfunction.
