==Overview==
Treatment of HFpEF is focused on treating underlying disease, such as [[hypertension]], [[Coronary heart disease|coronary artery disease]] and [[atrial fibrillation]]. [[Diuretics]] are the mainstay of [[pharmacotherapy]]. Other effective measures to control HFpEF include exercise, [[weight]] control and [[lipid]] control.
[[Heart failure]] has been divided into three subgroups including [[heart failure reduced ejection fraction]], [[heart failure mildly reduced EF]], [[heart failure preserved EF]]. [[HFrEF]] is defined when [[LVEF]]≤ 40% and significant [[LV systolic dysfunction]]. [[Patients]] with a [[LVEF]] between 41% and 49% have [[ mildly reduced LV systolic function]] or [[HFmrEF]]. [[Patients]] with [[ejection fractions]] between 40-50%  may benefit from similar therapies to those with [[LVEF]]≤ 40%. [[HFpEF]] is explained in the presence of  symptoms and signs of [[HF]], and evidence of structural and/or functional [[cardiac]] abnormalities and/or raised [[natriuretic peptides]] ([[NPs]]), and [[LVEF]]≥ 50%. [[Patients]] with non-[[cardiovascular]] disease including [[anaemia]], [[pulmonary]], [[renal]], [[thyroid]], or [[hepatic]] disease may mimic symptoms and signs of [[HF]], but in the absence of [[cardiac]] dysfunction, they are not diagnosed for [[HF]]. Neverthless, these [[disorders]] can coexist with [[HF]] and exacerbate the [[HF]] syndrome.

(sacubitril/valsartan)13 (see Supplementary Table 12 for the details
 
about these and additional trials). Hospitalizations for HF were
 
reduced by candesartan and spironolactone and there was a trend
 
towards reduction with sacubitril/valsartan, although as these trials
were neutral for their primary endpoints, these are hypothesis�generating findings only. Although nebivolol significantly reduced
the combined primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or CV hospi�tal admission in the SENIORS trial, this trial included only 15% with
an LVEF >50%.119,249 Trials targeting the nitric oxide-cyclic guano�sine monophosphate pathway have also failed to improve exercise

VITALITY-HFpEF,282 and CAPACITY-HFpEF (praliciguat).283
Despite the lack of evidence for specific disease-modifying thera�pies in HFpEF, as the vast majority of HFpEF patients have underlying
hypertension and/or CAD, many are already treated with ACE-I/
ARB, beta-blockers, or MRAs. In the PARAGON-HF study at base�line, more than 86% of patients were on ACE-I/ARBs, 80% were on
beta-blockers, and more than 24% were on MRAs.13
The Task Force acknowledge that the treatment options for
HFpEF are being revised as this guideline is being published. We note
that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has endorsed the use
of sacubitril/valsartan and spironolactone in those with an LVEF ‘less
than normal’. These statements relate to patients within both the
HFmrEF and HFpEF categories. For sacubitril/valsartan, this decision
was based on the subgroup analysis from the PARAGON-HF study,
which showed a reduction in HF hospitalizations in those with an
LVEF <57%, and a meta-analysis of the PARADIGM-HF and
PARAGON-HF studies, showing a reduction in CV death and HF
hospitalization in those with an LVEF below the normal range.247
Regarding spironolactone, the subgroup of individuals in the
TOPCAT study recruited in the Americas had a significant reduc�tion in the primary endpoint of CV death and HF hospitalization,
and a subsequent post hoc analysis by EF showed a significant
reduction in outcomes for those with an LVEF <55%.9,247 There are
also ongoing trials with SGLT2 inhibitors. These developments may
well accelerate a redefinition of HFpEF in the future and have thera�peutic implications.
In the absence of recommendations regarding disease-modifying
therapies, treatment should be aimed at reducing symptoms of con�gestion with diuretics. Loop diuretics are preferred, although thiazide
diuretics may be useful for managing hypertension. Reducing body
weight in obese patients and increasing exercise may further improve
symptoms and exercise capacity and should therefore be considered
in appropriate patients.284,285
It is important to identify and treat the underlying risk factors, aeti�ology, and coexisting comorbidities in HFpEF (e.g. hypertension in
section 12.4, CAD in section 12.2, amyloidosis in section 14.6, AF in
section 12.1.1, and valvular heart disease in section 12.3).
Undoubtably, treatment of some of the underlying phenotypes of the
the HFpEF syndrome leads to improVE OUTCOME

Overview

Heart failure has been divided into three subgroups including heart failure reduced ejection fraction, heart failure mildly reduced EF, heart failure preserved EF. HFrEF is defined when LVEF≤ 40% and significant LV systolic dysfunction. Patients with a LVEF between 41% and 49% have mildly reduced LV systolic function or HFmrEF. Patients with ejection fractions between 40-50% may benefit from similar therapies to those with LVEF≤ 40%. HFpEF is explained in the presence of symptoms and signs of HF, and evidence of structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities and/or raised natriuretic peptides (NPs), and LVEF≥ 50%. Patients with non-cardiovascular disease including anaemia, pulmonary, renal, thyroid, or hepatic disease may mimic symptoms and signs of HF, but in the absence of cardiac dysfunction, they are not diagnosed for HF. Neverthless, these disorders can coexist with HF and exacerbate the HF syndrome.

Medications indicated in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA class II–IV) HFmrEF (heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction) (LVEF41-49%)

Recommedation for patients with NYHA class 2-4 heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction
Diuretics (Class I, Level of Evidence C):

Diuretics are recommended in patients with congestion and HFmrEF in order reduce symptoms and signs

ACEI (Class IIb, Level of Evidence C):

ACE-I may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
ARB may be indicated for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
Beta-blocker may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death,
MRA may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death
Sacubitril/valsartan may be considered for patients with HFmrEF to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and death

The above table adopted from 2021 ESC Guideline

[4]



Class IIa
"1. In patients with HFmrEF, SGLT2i can be beneficial in decreasing HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality. [5] (Level of Evidence: B-R) "
Class IIb
"2. Among patients with current or previous symptomatic HFmrEF (LVEF, 41%-49%), use of evidence-based beta blockers for HFrEF, ARNi, ACEi, or ARB, and MRAs may be considered to reduce the risk of HF hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality, particularly among patients with LVEF on the lower end of this spectrum. [6][7][8][9][10][1][11][12] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) "
The above table adopted from 2022 AHA Guideline

Heart failure With Improved Ejection Fraction (HFimpEF)

Class I
"1. In patients with HFimpEF after treatment, medical therapy should be continued to prevent relapse of HF and LV dysfunction, even in patients who may become asymptomatic. [8] (Level of Evidence: B-R) "
The above tables adopted from 2022 AHA Guideline

[13]

Heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

Clinical characteristics

The diagnosis of heart failure preserved ejection fraction

  • Echocardiographic criteria:
  • LA size (LA volume index >32 mL/m2)
  • Mitral E velocity <90 cm/s
  • Septal e' velocity <9 cm/s
  • E/e' ratio >9
    The diagnosis is made when there are the following:

(1) Symptoms and signs of HF
(2) An LVEF ≥ 50%
(3) Evidence of cardiac structural and/or functional abnormalities consistent with the presence of LV diastolic dysfunction/ raised LV filling pressures, including raised NPs

  • In the presence of AF, the threshold for LA volume index is >40 mL/m2
  • Exercise stress thresholds include E/e' ratio at peak stress ≥ 15 or tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity at peak stress >3.4 m/s
  • LV global longitudinal strain <16%
