Abstract

The diastolic function is defined as the filling of the heart during diastole. Diastolic dysfunction in patients with normal fraction ejection (FE) or HFpFE is defined by echocardiographic criteria according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Elderly patients, with multiple comorbidities, make the diagnosis difficult and involve the exclusion of other causes that may explain the symptoms of the patients, in particular anemia, sleep apnea, coronary artery disease, dynamic MI, metabolic syndrome and obesity. The prevalence of HFpEF is increasing, leading to the performance of stress diastolic function to detect asymptomatic patients at rest. We summarize in this mini review the important ESC guidelines and criteria for the echocardiographic evaluation of the diastolic dysfunction in patients with HFpFE.
