Abstract
The article focuses on current aspects of epidemiology, clinical picture, and diagnostics of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) associated with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Heart failure with preserved LV ejection fraction (HFpEF) is shown to be prevalent in a population that accounts for more than a half of all CHF cases. The group at risk for HFpEF consists primarily of older women with arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and atrial fibrillation. The article presents algorithms for diagnosis of HFpEF based on classic and tissue Doppler echocardiography and measurement of natriuretic peptides.
