Why the study?
Current management addresses HFpEF and AF separately without considering their joint impact on diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, resulting in suboptimal outcomes and high mortality.
Population
Patients with concurrent heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF)
Design
Review
Key result
Concomitant heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation substantially increases mortality and requires a personalized, integrated management approach targeting both conditions.

Integrated HFpEF-AF care may improve outcomes; leaves open optimal strategies pending prospective trials.
Restructuring care to integrate heart failure and AF teams with parallel therapeutic initiation is vital for improving outcomes in patients with concurrent HFpEF and AF.
Țica et al. (2022) conducted a review in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Concomitant heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation substantially increases mortality and requires a personalized, integrated management approach targeting both conditions.
