Navigating the evolving landscape of HFpEF management: A detailed look at key ACC/AHA/ESC guideline updates

Abstract

Heart failure, a growing concern in the United States, significantly impacts both morbidity and mortality. Classified by ejection fraction, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) now accounts for half of all cases and is steadily rising. Unlike its counterpart, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HFpEF lacks clear management guidelines. Recognizing this critical gap, we aim to review existing recommendations and formulate effective management strategies for HFpEF.
