N Engl J Med 2008;359:2456-67. This in part leads to the sensation of breathlessness. Comorbid conditions including other chronic medical diseases are common in the HFpEF population and frequently implicated as triggers for HF decompensation, thus optimal management of these coexistent disorders, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies, should be aggressively pursued. The lack of benefit from drug therapies is likely dueto the myriad of pathways activated in HFpEF, withthe only definite uniting pathology being elevated leftventricular filling pressures.

As a result, the atrial myopathy promotes atrial fibrosis and higher transmissionof left ventricular pressures onto the pulmonary circulation.46 In suitable candidates, rhythm control should be considered in view of the potential benefits, although trial data are lacking. The condition is defined by a left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 50%, in combination with elevated biomarkers (either BNP or NT-proBNP)and echocardiographic features of structural or functional impairment.1,6 Up to 15% of patients can have normal natriuretic peptide measures at rest, and the sensitivity of resting echocardiography is limited.

An increased heart rate is associated with cardiovascular death and hospitalisation in HFpEF,49 although pharmacological rate control has yet to show a mortality benefit.50,51 It may even be detrimental to the patients exercise capacity52 as it exacerbates their inability to compensate for exercise demands by inducing chronotropic incompetence.53 For this reason, adaptive atrial pacing has been suggested as an alternative to pharmacologicalrate control.54, Coronary artery disease affects over half of patients with HFpEF and is associated with increased mortality.55 The symptom of exertional dyspnoea may indicate angina, and current recommendations advise exclusion of coronary disease. These recommendations place a high value on the known etiologic factors for HFpEF and less on known outcome-modifying treatments which, unlike in HFrEF, are still limited.

We acknowledge the provision of funding from the Australian Government Department of Health to develop and maintain this website. Although there have been significant advances in themanagement of HFrEF with several pharmacologic anddevice-based therapies recommended by guidelines,the current therapeutic options in HFpEF may alleviatesymptoms but do not significantly reduce mortality. Sildenafil has also beenrigorously tested in several randomised trials and hasnot shown harm or benefit.63.

Timely, independent, evidence-based information on new drugs and medical tests, and changes to the PBS and MBS. A significant proportion of patients recruited in the latter region might not have received the assigned study treatment and thus reliable results from TOPCAT might come mainly from the Americas.6 The observed geographic variation analysis demonstrated a 15% relative risk reduction in the primary endpoint favouring spironolactone in patients enrolled in the Americas versus those enrolled in Russia or Georgia.7.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for HFpEF.1Blood pressure management is paramount, and anACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor antagonistis appropriate.6 Despite not having a significantmortality benefit, perindopril, candesartan andspironolactone may have value in reducing the risk ofhospitalisations from heart failure through inhibitionof the reninangiotensinaldosterone system.17-19, The TOPCAT trial assessed 3445 patients with HFpEF(with an ejection fraction over 45%). heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Patients with HFpEF frequently display cardiac and non-cardiac comorbidities including coronary artery disease, hypertension, obesity and diabetes.1-3 Some experts believe these extra-cardiac comorbidities lead to systemic inflammation, a key driver in the development of HFpEF.32 These comorbidities must be considered as part of the initial evaluation, and aggressively managed.

Myocardial stiffening results in elevated left ventricular pressures during filling, withfurther transmission to the left atrium and consequent pulmonary hypertension.
