Why the study?
Diagnosing HFpEF is challenging due to its heterogeneity and the limitations of traditional measures like left ventricular ejection fraction.
A multimodal imaging approach, moving beyond conventional parameters like LVEF, is essential for the accurate diagnosis, phenotyping, and management of the heterogeneous HFpEF population.
Advanced echo may refine HFpEF phenotyping now; leaves open prospective trials before routine adoption.
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is challenging due to its heterogeneity and the limitations of traditional measures like left ventricular ejection fraction.This manuscript emphasizes advanced echocardiographic techniques, including diastolic stress testing, strain imaging, and multimodal assessments, to enhance diagnostic accuracy and phenotype-specific management.These methods uncover HFpEF's complex nature, enabling earlier detection, better risk stratification, and personalized treatments.The findings advocate for moving beyond conventional parameters, highlighting the importance of a multimodal imaging approach to improve patient outcomes in this diverse condition.
