Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction #HFPEF Tweetorial! Once thought as just diastolic dysfunction, it is much more than that!

Why have we drawn a cut-off of 50% for rEF vs pEF? Well, this relates to older studies which showed that the risk of symptomatic heart failure increased significantly when your EF was less than 50%.

But is that still a relevant cut-off? Those with EF between 50 and 55% still have increased risk – and indeed EF has shown to correlate continuously with risk.

1️⃣ Non-pharmacological therapies for HF:
➖Cardiac rehabilitation can improve functional capacity, exercise duration & mortality
➖Diet: Low Na (2-3 g/day) diet to reduce congestive symptoms
➖Biomarkers have an important role in diagnosis and prognosis of patients with HF

2️⃣ Acute Heart Failure Treatment agenda:
➖ Stabilize condition based on hemodynamics profile
➖ Establish dx, etiology and precipitating factor
➖ Initiate therapy for symptom relief
➖ Preload/afterload reduction
➖ Inhibition of neurohormonal activation for long term mgmt
