Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: diagnosis and treatment
Milashchenko A.I., Ibragimov M.S., Andreev A.N., Kozlov P.A.
Abstract. The articlesummarizes and analyzes the data in the modern literature about know diagnosis and treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Approximately 30-50% of patients with heart failure have normal or near normal left ventricular systolic function. The clinical profile, readmissions and mortalityare comparable to that of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.Diagnosis of heart failure with nomalejection fractionis frequently challenging and relies upon careful clinicalevaluation, tissue Doppler imaging, echo-Doppler cardiography,the level of natriuretic peptides and invasive haemodynamic assessment.Currently, no clinically proven treatments are shown to decrease morbidity and mortality in this population; however, there are novel treatment strategies that are currently under investigation or hold promise for the future.
Keywords: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, diastolic dysfunction, chronic heart failure
