How to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major healthcare problem that is raising in prevalence. There has been a shift in HpEF management towards early diagnosis and phenotype-specific targeted treatment. However, the diagnosis of HFpEF remains a challenge due to the lack of universal criteria and patient heterogeneity. This review aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the diagnostic workup of HFpEF, highlighting the role of echocardiography in HFpEF phenotyping.
