- Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) traditionally has been characterized as a form of heart failure without therapeutic options, in particular with a lack of response to the established therapies of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, this is no longer true. Besides physical exercise, risk factor modification, aldosterone blocking agents, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, specific therapies are emerging for specific HFpEF etiologies, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or cardiac amyloidosis. This development justifies increased efforts to arrive at specific diagnoses within the umbrella of HFpEF. Cardiac imaging plays by far the largest role in this effort and is discussed in the following review.
