Featuring: Sadiya S. Khan, MD, MSc, and Sanjiv J. Shah, MD
This first installment in a three-part educational miniseries from the New England Journal of Medicine explores heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and how it differs from heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, along with its key risk factors and underlying pathophysiology. The discussion among several cardiologists highlights common diagnostic challenges and outlines a practical evaluation approach, including use of the H2FPEF score to help inform clinical decision-making.
