Nature Reviews Disease Primers, Published online: 14 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41572-024-00540-y
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for nearly half of all heart failure cases, with a prevalence that is expected to rise with the growing ageing population. In this Primer, Hamo and colleagues summarize the epidemiology and pathophysiology of HFpEF and discuss HFpEF diagnosis, treatment and open research questions.
