• Myocardial fibrosis is a common pathological process in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. • A higher myocardial fibrosis burden on cardiac magnetic resonance predicts a poor prognosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. • Evaluation of myocardial fibrosis may be useful in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction for risk stratification and treatment guidance.
