Key result
Diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction are increasingly prevalent in aging surgical patients, requiring specialized perioperative management.
This review provides an overview of the pathophysiology, treatment, and perioperative management of patients with diastolic dysfunction and HFpEF undergoing surgical procedures.
As the population ages, the incidence of patients presenting for surgical procedures with diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction will rise. This review will discuss the most current and relevant information on the pathophysiology, treatment, and perioperative management of these patients.
