Diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may be challenging owing to the heterogeneous clinical presentation and comorbidities in this population of patients, along with the limited availability of standard diagnostic tools, including natriuretic peptide tests and functional testing. This expert opinion summarizes the current state of knowledge on the identification and therapy for patients with HFpEF based on recent European and American recommendations. This expert opinion aims to aid clinicians in HFpEF management.
