摘要
Currently,heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for more than 50% of HF cases,but there is lack of available effective drug therapy to improve the prognosis.In 2019,the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) developed a new consensus recommendation,4-step HFA-PEFF diagnostic algorithm:the first step is "pre-test assessment",and the second step is "echocardiographic and natriuretic peptide heart failure with preserved ejection fraction diagnostic score",the third step "functional testing",the fourth step "final aetiology".In this paper,not only the four-step diagnosis method is introduced in detail,but the comorbidity of HFpEF and community-based management of HF is also discussed.
